Saunton Beach Shop
The heart of a great day out at Saunton
Sitting beside Saunton Sands slipway just moments from the beach, Saunton Beach Shop has been part of the Saunton experience for generations.
It is everything a traditional seaside shop should be, filled with beach-day essentials, ice creams, treats, clothing, gifts and those all-important items that somehow never made it into the car. But it is also much more than that.
Whether you need a bucket and spade, an extra layer for a breezy afternoon, something to remember your visit by or a little local advice, our friendly team is here to help you make the most of your time at Saunton.

Forgotten the sun cream? Need a windbreak, wetsuit or pair of beach shoes? Looking for something to keep the children entertained?

Our range changes throughout the season, so there is always something new to discover.
A toy shop by the sea
The children’s section is one of the real highlights of Saunton Beach Shop.
Alongside traditional buckets, spades and beach games, you will find an incredible range of toys, puzzles, games, pocket-money treats and gifts for children of all ages. It has the feel of a good old-fashioned toy shop, with shelves full of things children will be excited to discover and plenty that parents will be just as pleased to find.
The range goes well beyond beach toys, making the shop a brilliant place to pick up birthday presents, holiday treats and gifts to take home. With so many reasonably priced options, it is easy to find something thoughtful without spending a fortune.
A proper seaside treat
No beach day is complete without an ice cream.
Call in for ice creams, cold drinks, sweets, snacks and other treats to enjoy beside the sea. We also stock a selection of essential food and drink, perfect for topping up your beach bag or picking up something you forgot on the way.
Whether it is an ice cream after a paddle, a drink before the walk back from the shoreline or a well-earned treat at the end of the day, the Beach Shop is only a few steps away.
Quality, choice and sensible prices
Saunton Beach Shop boasts a broad choice of useful, good-quality products without inflated seaside pricing. Whether you are buying an ice cream, replacing forgotten sunglasses, choosing a child’s birthday present, or investing in a new changing robe, our aim is to offer excellent value at every price point.
It is one of the reasons so many regular visitors make the Beach Shop part of every trip to Saunton.
