Bigbury-on-Sea and Burgh Island are two of the 'must-sees' on the beautiful south Devon coastline. The wonderful beaches, the natural beauty of the island and the unique sea tractor which connects the two when the tide comes in, are truly iconic and will last long in the memories of those lucky enough to visit.
Whilst on the island why not pay a visit to the Pilchard Inn? The Pilchard Inn has quenched thirsts for over 700 years, and clientele ranging from local fishermen to smugglers and wreckers alike have enjoyed the delights within. Or perhaps the Art Deco hotel is on your 'to do' list, which has also welcomed guests such as Agatha Christie, The Beatles and Noel Coward in years gone by. The beaches, coastal walks and surrounding areas in this stunning location offer you adventure, unspoilt beauty and endless entertainment in every direction.
There really is endless fun to be had in this very sought-after location. Perhaps a stroll along this staggering coastline is on your 'to do' list, if so – great choice! As you meander around these stunning coastal routes, please ensure the camera is close to hand, as the views will be worth a snap or two! Or maybe someone in the group has a burning desire to learn to surf – if so, help is at hand, only a short distance away is a very friendly and professional surf school who are equipped to teach on all levels, why not give it a go?
There is so much to do for the adventure monkeys of the group; surfing, paddle boarding and kayaking are all very popular on Bigbury beach. With the facilities and equipment located on the beach and readily available for hire - what are you waiting for! Or perhaps 18 holes of golf at Bigbury golf course is your ideal way to spend the day, all this and more is on your doorstep.
The towns and villages of Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Dartmouth, Totnes and Brixham are also within striking distance via car. These popular towns and villages all hold so much individual charm and character, making them a great day out for all the family.
