Review & FAQ:
Bantham Beach sits at the mouth of the Avon River in South Hams, England. Recognized as one of the best beaches in Europe, Bantham beach offers visitors panoramic views of Bigbury Bay and Burgh Island.
The bay is a prime location for family outings because of its wide, sandy coastline, and surfers regard the area as one of the best places to catch a wave in Devon. The estuary at the Avon River is also an excellent destination for wildlife viewing and taking long walks. There are well-kept footpaths in the area that trace the picturesque coastline. Map
