The beach was clean and so were the facilities but what lets it down is the high charge for parking!

This is a lovely sandy beach with plenty of room for everyone - never crowded. Sand dunes to walk and play in and a rather nice restaurant as well!

Our family absolutely love Saunton Sands and is our first choice of beach when staying in North Devon. Came here again in July 2011 and we all had a fantastic day. What makes it a great beach for us other than the gorgeous country setting all around ....well no 1 for us has to be a sandy beach! And Saunton... More

Car parking is a bit steep, but if you're staying for the whole day it's reasonable. Fantastic beach, cafe and shop. Absolutely LOVE this place.

14 members of our family spent a very nice day on this beach. A great stretch of sand with dunes behind. We hired a beach hut for £12 for the day with chairs and wind breaks. Good sand for digging and playing games on

Expensive parking at £4 unless you are spending the day here. It's exposed so very windy ad no shade- will be fantastic for summer days with light breezes. Not so good for a windy April! Great dunes, rock pools and soft sand for the under 6's but after an hour in the exposed cold wind it's time to go, hence... More
