Thurlestone Beach is a beach in Devon, England.

Thulestone boasts two breathtaking and sheltered sandy beaches for you to choose from. Leasefoot is the smaller of the two and can be found beside the Thurlestone Golf Club, while Thurlestone Sands is located a small distance away in South Milton. This larger beach is a popular choice for many types of watersports. Because of its remote location, Thurlestone Sands isn’t overly crowded like other Devon beaches; this adds to its appeal, allowing you to enjoy the pure unspoiled charm of nature. It’s not hard to see why this area comes highly recommended as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – children will delight in playing in the shallows while adults can take in the sweeping views of the shoreline. A special sight to behold at Thurlestone Sands is the iconic Thurlestone Rock – an arched rocky shoreline situated at one end of the beach which can be admired best at high tide. Its neighbouring rocky outcrops create a natural shelter around the main beach area, while during low tides further rockpools emerge. You are allowed to bring your canine companions here all year round, although please remember to keep the golden sand clean at all times by picking up after them.
