Ansteys Cove Beach

English Riviera.

Ansteys Cove is a small cove with a pebble beach to the north of Torquay. There is a small promenade above the beach with café. Nearby Redgate Beach is not accessible due to cliff falls.

No details available. See Beach Safety Guide.

There is a large car park on the cliffs with access to the beach via a road which leads down to the beach, taking about 5 minutes to walk. This road is too steep for wheelchairs.

Dogs allowed all year.

At the Tweenaways Cross crossroads drive straight across onto the A3022 (signposted to Paignton town centre). Follow the A3022 through Paignton and north to Torquay, driving into Torquay town centre on the A379. Follow the A379 through Torquay town centre and after about a mile look out for a right turning signposted to Ansteys Cove. Turn right onto this road which is called "Ansteys Cove Road" and follow this road to the car park. Ansteys Cove Road is one way and to return to the A379, follow Ansteys Cove Road onto Ilsham Road.
