Bovisand Bay beach is a unique location found in a cove, just a 15-minute drive from Plymouth city center. The beach's distinguishing characteristic is its scarce sand. Access to the beach can be difficult, particularly for larger vehicles.
Visitors should be aware that no amenities or services such as cafes, restaurants, water sports rentals, or lifeguard services are available on the beach. Nevertheless, the beach does provide exceptional views of Plymouth's natural harbor breakwater. Despite being close to the city, the beach is secluded and hidden.
Due to the cove's structure, natural debris such as seaweed does wash up and remain, which may not be suitable for everyone. Swimmers should exercise caution due to the tide and limited places to return to land.
Bovisand Bay beach is a popular destination for those staying at a nearby caravan park. Additionally, it is a nudist beach suitable for those who prefer a clothing-optional experience. Dogs are allowed on the beach, and a parking area is nearby.
Bovisand Bay amenities include parking.
