South Milton Sands

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful large sandy beach with Thurlstone Rock arch and a National Trust cafe.

Tip by

2.34 km

The larger of the two beaches at Hope Cove, this bay is great for surfing, with large sandy areas and even a sheltered area which is great for a paddle board! This beach also includes beautiful shells and beachy stones, found in the rocks when the tide is out.

Hope Cove Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hope is a charming village with two beaches including Hope Cove. Excellent for swimming, enjoy the clear water and relaxed atmosphere before checking out the cafes and ice cream outlets. The cove gets busy in summer but there's usually a spot you can call your own.
