Discover Saunton Sands
Stretching for over three miles along the North Devon coast, Saunton Sands is one of the UK’s most spectacular beaches. Backed by the UNESCO-protected Braunton Burrows Biosphere Reserve and bordered by the South West Coast Path, it’s a place where nature, adventure and relaxation come together.
Famous for its wide sandy beach, consistent surf and breathtaking sunsets, Saunton offers something in every season. From surfing and coastal walks to great food, a traditional beach shop, and everything you need for a comfortable day by the sea, it’s a destination to enjoy from morning until sunset. As one of North Devon’s few beaches to welcome dogs all year round, it’s just as popular with four-legged visitors as it is with families, surfers and walkers.
Whether you’re here for an afternoon or a week, this is your guide to making the most of your visit.
