I had been down on the Coast for work and it was the afternoon and I fancied a cup of tea and a walk on the beach before the long drive home. This place was beautiful and really recharged the batteries. On a sunny day this really hits the spot!
Blackpool Sands
We are open! The Venus Takeaway will be open every day from 10am until 4pm, 9am to 4pm at the weekends. They are offering a full food and drink menu plus alcohol sales can resume and their outdoor seating area is once again available to use.
Dogs will be permitted until Friday 30th April. From 1st May until 31st October, the seasonal Blue Flag regulations come into force and no dogs will be permitted on the beach or in the car parks.
Please continue to observe social distancing and think: hands – face – space – fresh air (and boy, we have lots of that!).
#staysafe on our beautiful beach and we look forward to seeing you!
Description
Blackpool Sands, set in a sheltered bay surrounded by evergreens and pines, is one of south Devon’s most beautiful natural treasures.
An award-winning family beach with turquoise blue sea giving it an almost Mediterranean feel. A shingle beach, as are all the main beaches in this area and all incorporating ‘Sands’ as a historical name, see our website FAQS page for the advantages of a shingle beach. You can also visit Blackpool Gardens – situated close to the beach, open from 1st April to the end of September.
Lifeguard patrol and no dogs during summer season. Sand pits, a bathing raft, kayaks, paddle boards, wetsuits and deckchairs for hire, Venus Beach Café serving a range of delicious hot and cold food, Venus Take-away and a well-stocked beach shop, it has something for all the family. But don’t just take our word for it, come and see for yourself!
