Bigbury is in the heart of an area of outstanding natural beauty and offers an ideal centre for exploring the region. The beach is a mixture of sand and some shingle with rock pools for the children making it perfect for a family holiday. It is backed by low cliffs offering fantastic views of Burgh Island. Burgh Island is just off the beach and is accessible across a causeway of golden sand at low tide and by sea tractor at high tide. This is the only island in the world accessible by a sea tractor.

This is one of South Devon’s best locations for windsurfing and canoeing in the open sea. There are some spectacular coastal walks and a golf course nearby with brilliant views over Bigbury Bay. The small resort attracts many people in the summer with a large car parking area to accommodate them.

Bigbury village is close by with shops, pubs and good food at reasonable prices with many friendly people. If the weather isn’t so good then Dartmouth and Plymouth are only a few miles drive away with a wide variety of activities available.
