Broadsands, Sandy beach in Torbay, England
Broadsands is a sandy beach in a gently curved bay backed by red sandstone cliffs that rise along the coastline. The seabed slopes gradually into deeper water, revealing rocks and natural formations when the tide recedes.
The bay became a leisure destination during the Victorian period when the English Riviera gained appeal among British travelers. This period established the location's importance as a regional seaside resort.
The beach functions as a gathering spot where locals and visitors enjoy traditional English seaside pursuits and casual games on the nearby grass. People come here to spend leisure time together, making it a social hub throughout the summer months.
The beach is equipped with toilets, a restaurant, and rentable beach huts along the shoreline. There is a designated area for launching small watercraft and wheelchair ramp access for easier mobility.
The beach offers specialized equipment for visitors with mobility challenges, including beach wheelchairs available for daily rental. This accessibility feature makes the site welcoming for people with varying mobility needs.
