Devon and Cornwall boasts some of the finest coastline in the country. There are hundreds of fine sandy beaches and picturesque coves to be discovered. From the dramatic North Coast, exposed to westerly storms and pounding surf to the South Coast where the climate is more gentle.
There are so many beautiful place… here are a few of my favourites.
