Sandy bay: explore devon's hidden coastal gem and the beautiful countryside beyond, no car required
Sandy Bay is a beautiful slice of the Devon coast, famed for its striking red cliffs and long, sandy beach. If you’re travelling without a car, it makes for a fantastic day out or a relaxing coastal escape. Reaching it is part of the fun, with scenic bus routes winding through the Devonshire countryside.
From the bus stop, it’s a short stroll down to the beach. Spend the day paddling in the sea, building sandcastles, or simply soaking up the sun. For those who enjoy a good walk, the South West Coast Path passes right by, offering stunning views in both directions. Head east for a bracing walk towards Exmouth, or west towards Budleigh Salterton.
Don’t miss the charming local cafes and pubs in nearby Littleham, a short bus ride away. It’s a great place to grab a bite to eat and experience the local Devonshire hospitality. Exploring Sandy Bay and its surroundings is a breeze without a car, allowing you to truly appreciate the beauty of the journey.
