This is a South facing beach 18 miles East of Plymouth. Works best in a Westerly but caters for all directions from NW to NE. Any SW direction generates large swell with mast high waves a common sight. The dangers to watch out for are a strong current generated by the River Avon that flows into the bay 500m down the beach so sail powered up. Burgh island is on the right as you look out to sea and causes a wind shadow at low tide in a westerly. There is a large carpark on the beach with a cafe and toilets, this costs £5.70 for a day and the car park attendant checks on a regular basis. All in all a superb place to sail, not as safe as Rhosneigr as it does close outwhen it gets big, but definitely a place to check out if you're down in Devon.
