Blackpool Sands, Dartmouth

Blackpool Sands is a stony beach in Dartmouth, Devon, England named after the nearby village of Blackpool. It has been increasingly encroached on each year since 1933. In 1989 the sea broke the defences, severely damaging seaside properties and threatening the A379 road.

Not to be confused with Blackpool Sands, Blackpool.
For the battle which took place here in 1404, see Battle of Blackpool Sands.

Amenities

There is a charge for parking in the high season, a cafe and a shop. The beach is stony rather than sandy, and therefore not suitable for younger children or the building of sandcastles.
