Devon is full of beautiful beaches you can spend the day on. The beaches, bays and coves are all stunning, hidden gems ready to be explored. Below are five of Devon's best beaches recommended by the experts themselves over at DevonLive .
1. Heddon's Mouth Beach Located in between Combe Martin and Lynton, this is a glorious rocky cove named because it sits at the mouth of the River Heddon. Over the years, it has carved a deep valley towards the back of the beach.
It's been called a super-sized pebble beach as the beach is made up of medium sized rocks, which have been smoothed over the years, too. While the beach's location is out of the way, it means that its a quiet, remote location - perfect to have a quiet weekend. As well as that, dogs are allowed on the beach too, while lifeguards do not patrol here.
2. Lannacombe Beach Located in between Prawle Point and Start Point on the South Devon coast, Lannacombe Beach is a place some might come to escape the summer crowds of other South Hams beaches. However, there is no lifeguard cover and parking is very limited.
It's a sandy beach which is also dog friendly and set at the bottom of a low valley. Though there are a few pebbled and rocky areas, as well as rockpools for the kids. It's flanked by high grassy headlands which offer shelter from the wind and its nearest town is Salcombe.
