Hope Cove

Hope Cove is a picturesque village located in Devon, known for its friendly locals and beautiful natural surroundings. The village is home to a lovely sandy beach, which is particularly popular among families with children. The beach is backed by a small number of houses and pubs, and is a great spot for swimming. There are also boats available for hire. The village is quite hilly and the roads are narrow, which can make it difficult for those who struggle to walk. However, the village is accessible by car, although the lanes leading to Hope Cove are tight. Visitors are advised to take their time over the last couple of miles and be prepared to reverse for farm vehicles and lorries. Parking is available and can be paid for using the RingGo app. In addition to the beach, Hope Cove offers a number of amenities including a post office, a convenience store selling local ice-cream, a small art/craft gallery, and public toilets. There are also plenty of places to eat and drink. For those looking for a bit of adventure, there is a coastal path that leads to an old iron age settlement. The village is also known for its stunning sunsets and lovely walks along the cliffs. Dogs are allowed on the beach, but they must be kept on a lead.
