The stretch of coast path between Hope Cove and Bantham beach is the gift that keeps on giving, with beautiful beach after beautiful beach appearing, and being rewarded with stunning coastal views the whole way.

You can drive to each of these beaches, or you could spend some hours walking between them and relaxing on each as you go. You can extend the walk from or to Hope Cove, but I like starting from South Milton as otherwise it can be quite long when it’s out and back.

Along the way there will be numerous places to stop for refreshments, The Beach House at South Milton, the Village Inn at Thurlestone, or the Sloop Inn or Bosko Bus at Bantham.

Head back the route you came, stopping off at any beaches you didn’t get to on the way there!
