Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Blacklands beach (Devon) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Blacklands beach (Devon) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Blacklands beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

Blacklands beach may be small and lacking in sand, but its large pebbles provide a unique and enjoyable walking experience. It's a great spot to relax and take a break from the more crowded parts of town, and the best part is that entry is free to the public.

The beach is easily accessible and offers breathtaking views of Wales. It is highly recommended to take a stroll along the footpath to Forehand Point, where the views are truly exceptional.

Taking a stroll by the beach is an enchanting experience. However, the walk can be a bit demanding as the terrain is not level.

This beach is a great spot to check out, with friendly people and a mostly dog-friendly atmosphere. There are a few areas where dogs aren't allowed, but overall it's a wonderful place to spend some time. Plus, it's worth noting that there's no admission fee, so it's accessible to everyone!
