    \n
  1. Bantham Beach<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Little Dartmouth and Shinglehill Cove<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Snapes Point, near Salcombe<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Mill Bay<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Starehole Bay<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Woodleigh<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. South Milton Sands<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Staverton, near Totnes<\/a><\/li>\n
  9. Dittisham<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. Lannacombe Beach<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    <\/a>1. Bantham Beach<\/h2>\n

    Location: <\/b>SAT NAV users: TQ7 3AN for Bantham Beach<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n

    \"Bantham<\/p>\n

    \u201cI like to grab a coffee from <\/span>The Gastrobus<\/span><\/a> and walk along the coast path to enjoy the panoramic views of Bantham’s large expanse of golden sand and turquoise rippling ocean. <\/span><\/p>\n

    This surfers\u2019 paradise is one of the best places in South Devon to watch the sun set behind Burgh Island. At dusk the surfers drift in over the waves back to the shoreline. When the tide is out the beach opens up to reveal acres of shallow sandy rockpools, creating ideal play areas for toddlers.\u201d<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/span>    Bantham<\/a> Beach was voted one of the top 10 beaches in Europe (Lonely Planet, 2015). To find out more about Britain\u2019s best beach read our guide to Bantham Beach here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    <\/a>2. Little Dartmouth and Shinglehill Cove<\/h2>\n

    Location: <\/b>SAT NAV users: TQ6 0JP for Little Dartmouth
    \n<\/span>
    \n<\/b>\"coast
    \n<\/b><\/h3>\n

    \u201c<\/b>One of my favourite ways to spend a sunny Sunday is to walk from Dartmouth<\/a> to Blackpool Sands<\/a>. My wife and I often stop for a bite at <\/span>The Venus Caf\u00e9<\/span> right by the beach, but there are some nice picnic spots on the way too. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Our favourite is just a few steps off the beaten track, but it\u2019s so tucked away that lots of people miss it. You\u2019ll find this spot about 500m down the hill from the Little Dartmouth National Trust<\/a> car park on Redlap Road. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins and porpoises which are often seen in this area!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    <\/a>3. Snapes Point, nr Salcombe<\/h2>\n

    Location: <\/b>SAT NAV users: TQ8 8NQ for Snape’s Point car park<\/span><\/h3>\n

    \"View<\/p>\n

    \u201cThere are a couple of nice picnic spots here. At one end of the car park there is a raised picnic area with a table and views over the Salcombe Estuary<\/a> and harbour. Or take a short circular walk through the rolling fields past a small shingle beach. <\/span><\/p>\n

    On the circular loop back, some incredible views begin to unveil of Salcombe<\/a> and its estuary. This is where I like to settle down with my picnic blanket and watch the hustle and bustle of life on the estuary. <\/span><\/p>\n

    There\u2019s often a blaze of colour from sailing boats and paddle boarders making their way about the estuary and its narrow creeks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    <\/a>4. Mill Bay<\/h2>\n

    Location: <\/b>SAT NAV users: TQ8 8PU for Mill Bay car park
    \n<\/span><\/h3>\n

    \"East<\/p>\n

    \u201cI like to walk across the wide stretch of beach at East Portlemouth<\/a> and through woodland paths that reveal charming quiet sandy coves, Smalls and Mill Bay. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Mill Bay is the larger of the two coves where I can grab a nice ice cream from the East Portlemouth Venus Caf\u00e9<\/a> on route. <\/span><\/p>\n

    This is usually followed by a picnic with the kids and Jumbles the dog on Mill Bay beach. Tucked behind trees and woodland makes it feel as though you\u2019re on a deserted island.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    <\/a>5. Starehole Bay<\/h2>\n

    Location:<\/b> SAT NAV users: TQ8 8LH for South Sands car park<\/span><\/h3>\n

    \"A<\/p>\n

    \u201cOnly accessible by foot, this breathtaking view is on the Sharp Tor and Bolt Head walk<\/a>, which runs along the South West Coast Path<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Revealing a tropical paradise of palms and banana trees leading to the flourishing wilderness, it’s home to wild ponies and has various picnic benches along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Although Starehole Bay is off the beaten track, it is popular with walkers and boaters alike for its views of the clear turquoise waters. It\u2019s the perfect place to sit and take in the sea air.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    <\/a>6. Woodleigh<\/h2>\n

    Location: <\/b>SAT NAV users: TQ7 4DE for Woodleigh village car park<\/span>
    \n<\/span>
    \n\"Woodleigh
    \n<\/span><\/h3>\n

    \u201cWoodleigh woods, part of the National Trust landscape, boasts natural woodland that clings to the steep-sided valley of the River Avon. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Play \u2018Pooh Sticks\u2019 with the family before following the stream into areas of colourful plants brightening up the hedgerow and grassy clearings. You can spot horse shoe imprints, rare plants and wildlife here too. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    <\/a>7. South Milton Sands<\/h2>\n

    Location: <\/b>SAT NAV users: TQ7 3JY for South Milton car park<\/span><\/h3>\n

    \"south<\/p>\n

    \u201cHands down one of the picnic best spots in South Devon. <\/span><\/p>\n

    The large sandy beach looks out over Thurlestone<\/a> Rock, it is the perfect place to lay down the picnic rug, and you can always find a private spot. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Alternatively, for something a little more formal, there are several National Trust picnic benches adjacent to the popular <\/span>Beachhouse Caf\u00e9<\/span><\/a> overlooking the beach. <\/span><\/p>\n

    We love to treat ourselves, and top up our picnic with hot chips from the takeaway, later finishing with an ice-cream! Our favourite time to have a picnic on the beach is at sunset, so we can enjoy local delights as the sun goes down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Read our South Milton beach guide.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    <\/a>8. Staverton, near Totnes<\/h2>\n

    Location: <\/b>SAT NAV users: TQ9 6AG (there is a small station car park, with a suggested 50 pence donation)<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/h3>\n

    \u201cThis is our family \u2018go-to\u2019 when it comes to picnics! The footpath itself is sandwiched between the River Dart and the South Devon Railway track, and slowly meanders through the woods. <\/span><\/p>\n

    It\u2019s a magical spot, where wildlife is rife, with an array of birds, butterflies and dragonflies. We often spot kingfishers and herons, and once, a young otter swam beneath our feet! <\/span><\/p>\n

    There are many secluded river beaches perfect for residing. And some great swimming holes, which are popular amongst the local wild swimming community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    <\/a>9. Dittisham<\/a><\/h2>\n

    Location: <\/b>SAT NAV users: The Hams Car Park TQ9 0HS<\/span><\/h3>\n

    \u201cThis small but perfectly formed South Devon village flanks the River Dart and has everything you need to enjoy a long, lazy day picnicking by the riverside. <\/span><\/p>\n

    With an expansive village green, known as \u2018the ham\u2019, a play area situated on the waters edge, shallow waters for paddling, and a pontoon for crabbing (also a great jumping spot for those who will brave it!). It provides endless options for busy souls who like to picnic and keep active. <\/span><\/p>\n

    The waters provide a haven for sailing, kayaking and paddleboarding, and you will find the local community thriving!\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>

    \n

    <\/a>10. Lannacombe Beach<\/h2>\n

    Location: SAT NAV users: TQ7 2NH<\/span><\/b><\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

    \u201cRugged. Wild. Unspoilt. Lannacombe beach is one of South Devon\u2019s quieter beaches and is the perfect spot if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the summer crowds. <\/span><\/p>\n

    With direct access to the coast path, this secluded spot delivers some of the best scenery in the area, boasting both coast and countryside views.\u201d<\/span>

    I usually set up a picnic opposite the vivid cornfields, taking in the views of the rolling Devon<\/a> countryside as I eat. After a lovely lunch in the open air, I always like to visit <\/span>Avon Mill Garden Centre<\/span><\/a> to look at their coastal plants and enjoy the home-made scones.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
