Saunton Sands

Beginner Beach break Sand bottom Peels both 0.4–2 m Any tide

A three-mile beach of slow, long, forgiving waves — the best longboard beach in the Westcountry. Consistent, spacious and backed by dunes and the UNESCO-listed Braunton Burrows; when the punchier beaches are too heavy, Saunton delivers.
