How we measure

Each beach shows its nearest car park and the distance to the beach in metres, taken from our parking dataset (last updated 29 June 2026). Where a beach has more than one car park, we show the closest.

We do not show parking charges here, as they change with the season and the operator. Dog access rules are verified beach by beach against council and operator sources, and shown on each beach page.

This list covers North Devon, South Devon, East Devon and Torbay. Beaches on the neighbouring Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset coast are not included.
