Embrace between Watermouth and Combe Martin, Broadsand Beach offers idyllic stretches of golden sand, perfect for enjoying a fun family picnic, a playful floric or a fun family picnic.
The water here is calm and provides a safe haven for swimmers, but it is important to note that LifeGuard services are not provided.

For those thinking more than sunbathing, countless coastal paths and walking paths beckon and offer enchanting views of the dramatic coastline.
The area also offers wildlife enthusiasts a wealth of opportunities with occasional sightings of seabirds, marine life, and dolphins and seals.
Previously told by the time as one of the UK's most hidden coastal gems, Broadsand Beach is firmly established among the precious hidden beaches of England.
They say that the publication recommends it for adventurers: “This is a beach for brave people, with dramatic descents through stairs that go through lush cliffs, and occasionally cling to the railings, but the reward is worth it.
“The crude gunmetal grey sand protected cove is perfect for low tide and offers more views along the roller coaster ride, a southwest coast road, where it hangs north across the murmur Martin Bay.”
“The cliffs are hard over the Hangman and are broken only at the mouth of Hedon, where you will pass through the landscaping gardens of the National Trust-owned Hunter Inn Hotel, perfect for a hearty pub meal after a day on the beach.”
Boasting a memorable 4.5 score on TripAdvisor, the passionate testimony from visitors highlights their attachment to this sparkling coastal gem.
A holiday maker who was an EC branded the beach as a “paradise” and praised it in reviews.
Another guest said, “We recently stayed at a campsite in Watermouth Valley and visited Broadsand Beach. Yes, the stairs are steep, but we are very happy.
The third visitor said: “It was a small part of heaven and allowed 250 stairs to get to the beach. Of course we had to come back too.”
