Thurlestone Sands is a fine, shingle sandy beach with sheltered waters. The southern part is also known as South Milton Sands.
Dogs are allowed on Thurlestone Sands all year round.
This beach is very much the beach that time forgot, a family beach for traditional beach activities and games; relax and play amongst the rock pools. You can occasionally get a south-westerly swell, which produces some big surf.
Just off the beach is Thurlestone Rock, a natural arc that gives the town its name.
The town is full of thatched cottages; behind the beach, you have fields and a National Trust nature reserve.
Facilities at the beach include a car park, cafe, shops, toilets, and lifeguards in the summer.
