Popular with families & surfers, this sandy beach has a cafe, large-vehicle parking lot & toilets.
Three miles of golden sands stretching north towards Woolacombe and Morte Point and south towards Baggy Point make up Putsborough. Sunny but windy day. A very quiet day to start the season. A few passersby all over the beach. There was no way to swim (the water was too cold). Either way, it was a very good and pleasant time.
Beautiful beach but very expensive to park so if you didn't want all day it would work out expensive. The drive up to the beach is pretty scary especially if you are a city driver. Very narrow lanes on a hill so you have to reverse to let others go by. Very nice cafe with lovely views. There is a hill down to the beach as well as stairs so technically disabled access. However no boards on the sand once down to wheel. You can walk down to the next seaside town about 1.5 miles down the shore. Gorgeous sandy beach food for surfing.
Beautiful beach and coastline and very dog friendly, mine loved it. We've been here a few times. Parking is expensive, as the only option was for a full day, though easily accessible to the beach.
A beautiful beach with great food. HOWEVER, you're looking at PS13.50 to park. That sounds extortionate, which it is. The other day I had to pay in 10p pieces following a lucky win at the amusements. It took ages to count these out with traffic queuing behind. I counted out over 100 but this still wasn't enough. People started tooting me. I panicked and dropped a load of them between the seats. This could all have been avoided had they displayed the parking cost clearly rather than hide it in shame until just before you reach the pay kiosk. My friend told me that if you mention at the cafe you paid the full parking price, you get a free pasty of your choice. I mentioned this to the Puts crew but they were having none of it.
Utter gem of a beach, and the Baggy Head peninsula acts as a buffer for the winds that come from the South West unlike Woolacombe that is much windier most days. There's a great cafe up a few steps but toilets are further up near the far side of the car park. PS11 to park for the day is a bit steep, but it's only PS10 if you fancy the 3km walk from Woolacombe Stunning views and waves are good enough for body boards, need the right weather for surfing conditions, but can get some good barrels. Surf board hire at the top near the car park.
School's back, and so is the British hot weather. Devon and Cornwall boast some beautiful beaches, and Putsborough is one of my favourites. Generally, less crowded than its neighbours, Croyde, Saunton or Woolacombe, Putsborough is an ideal beach for the family, with its gorgeous sand and lots of lovely rock pools to explore with baby crabs shrimps and tiny fish. Car parking is generally PS10 per visit and there is a little snack shop with the usual beach prices, so it is best to come well prepared, particularly if you're on a tight budget. One of the reasons Putsborough Sands tends to be quieter is because of the narrow lanes you have to navigate to get here. One London tourist asked me: "Isn't this one way?" as his car inched past mine. You can see Woolacombe at the far end in my photos and videos. Woolacombe tends to be more crowded, and there is a range of shops offering buckets spades and dinghies, but if, like I, you come well prepared, then the white surf the soft golden sand the absence of beach goers with their antisocial music, are a real treat and a recipe for relaxation.
