About

A key component of North Devon's golden coast, Saunton Sands is a long straight sandy beach backed by the impressive Braunton Burrows a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This is a popular beach with surfers and families due to the long stretch of water perfect for swimmers and surfers and it is much more suited to beginners and intermediate surfers than the northern Croyde Bay. Robbie Williams is a fan of Saunton Sands using it for his Angels video.

There are a range of food outlets toilets and beach shops easy disabled access. Saunton is currently  the only beach in North Devon to have a Landeez all terrain wheelchair. This wheelchair allows those who are less abled or disabled to have full enjoyment of the beach as it is able to traverse all areas and to be used in the shallows of the sea. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year. Walks to Crow Point are refreshing and provide some amazing views across the coastline.
