Shame about the road closure and storm damage but we had a lovely few days on the beach. The facilities that were open where great and I would encourage everyone to get behind the local businesses while the through road is shut. Skyler our labradaughter had the best time too.

Fabulpus beach. Very gentle slope to sand. Great calm swimming. Would be better if steps were changed to gradient for wheelchairs and prams

A beautiful, unspoiled spot with unbelievable views. The area has clearly been struck hard by the devastating storm and needs help to survive. We will be back to visit again soon. Be sure to visit the Start Bay inn and respect the natural beauty of the area.

I just love it down this neck of woods, it really is a beautiful part of the world, with fantastic views as well. A great area to walk and relax and the added bonus for me my passion of military history, Slapton Sands, Exercise Tiger and the Tank memorial. I thoroughly recommend visiting and touring this area.
