Wembury Beach

West Devon.

Wembury beach is a pleasant and popular sandy beach with plenty of sand at low tide and plenty of rock pools to explore. To the west of the main beach there is a long beach called Langdon Beach which is accessible from the coast path, this is mainly rocky but with some patches of sand. Parking at Wembury is fairly limited and the car parks can be full by mid-morning in summer. Note that the National Trust car park is very expensive.

Signs warn of strong rip currents and large breaking waves. Also do not use inflatables when windy. See Beach Safety Guide.

The main beach is accessed via steps from the car park (not suitable for wheel chairs). Langdon Beach is accessed on the coast path from short slopes and paths.

Dogs are banned on the main Wembury beach between 1st May and 30th September. Dogs are allowed all year on Langdon Beach.
