Saunton Sands Beach in Devon

Three miles of sandy beach at Saunton Sands is backed by almost 1000 hectares of amazing sand dunes, one of the largest dune areas in the UK, known as Braunton Burrows. The Taw/Torridge Estuary enters the sea at the southern end of the beach.

The dunes provide a great place for children to explore and play, also on windier days sheltered sunbathing. Also, popular with surfers and at the most southerly tip of Braunton Burrows, you will find Crow Point, a popular location for bird watching.

This large area of the dunes was designated a UNESCO Biosphere (area of outstanding natural diversity) in 2004.

Facilities include parking, beach huts, a cafe, shop, toilets, and lifeguards in the summer months. This is a disabled-friendly beach with parking and a concrete slope onto the beach.
