Bigbury Beach

South Devon.

Bigbury-On-Sea is a super family beach with a large expanse of sand which extends at low tide to Burgh Island. There is a path up to the top of Burgh Island where there are fantastic views across South Devon. Facilities and parking are close to the beach.

Signs warn of strong currents, not to use inflatables when windy and to beware of vehicles moving on the causeway. Also do not swim to Murray's Rock and do not swim in boating lane marked by buoys. Also do not cross by the river mouth due to dangerous strong currents and soft sand. There are lifeguards in summer. See Beach Safety Guide.

There are several access points to the beach, including a sloping road from the main car park which is suitable for wheel chairs. There is also a slipway from the road onto the east part of the beach which is called Sedgewell Cove.

Dogs banned between 1st May to 30th September (10am to 7pm) from the causeway east to Sedgewell Cove. To the west of the causeway and at the far east of Sedgewell Cove, dogs are allowed all year.
