Bantham Beach, Sandy beach in South Devon, United Kingdom
Bantham Beach is a sandy shore on the South Devon coast where the Avon River meets the sea. The landscape features shallow waters, broad sand dunes, and a sheltered cove that forms naturally along the coastline.
The beach gained recognition from the Marine Conservation Society in 2019 for meeting high environmental standards. This designation reflects the location's commitment to water quality and coastal preservation.
The beach and surrounding area influenced literary works, including Agatha Christie who based her novel 'And Then There Were None' on nearby Burgh Island.
The beach offers plenty of parking and is equipped with restrooms and a café for visitors. Lifeguards are stationed here during the warmer months, making swimming and water activities safer for everyone.
An annual wild swimming race takes place here where swimmers navigate through the river estuary with the tidal current. This event attracts water sports enthusiasts from across the region.
