Ayrmer Cove

Ayrmer Cove is a tranquil and secluded beach located in South Hams, on the South Devon coast in England. It is nestled between Bigbury and the Erme estuary, along the South West Coast Path. The beach is known for its natural beauty and tranquility, offering visitors a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The cove features a shingle beach, adorned with numerous rock pools that contribute to its charm. Despite being a bit small at high tide, it remains a worthwhile visit at any time. Moreover, it's a popular spot for kayakers, especially in the early morning hours. An interesting feature of Ayrmer Cove is that it is dog-friendly all year round, making it a popular choice for dog owners.

Despite its beauty and charm, Ayrmer Cove is not crowded, mainly due to its lack of commercial facilities. There are no amusement arcades, pubs, or commercial establishments, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the natural surroundings.

Access to the beach is possible via a 10-minute walk from the National Trust Car Park or from the main Coastal Path. The path to the beach is steadily downhill, making the return journey slightly more challenging and it's important to note that the access may not be suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs. Visitors are advised to wear sensible shoes for the walk from the car park, especially if they plan to follow the coastal path to the next bay.
