Beaches in South West England
This beach is less commercial than the neighbouring ones and is reached by steps that run down the wooded cliff from the castle grounds. There are good views to the Isle of White and the sand and water are clean and safe.
The beach at Daymer Bay is wide, sandy and secluded. The beach itself lies within the mouth of the Camel Estuary and so is sheltered. The gently sloping beach makes it safe for swimming and ideal for families.
