Landcombe Cove is a secluded beach situated between Slapton and Blackpool Sands in Dartmouth, Devon, United Kingdom. The beach is hidden and an ideal retreat from summer crowds. However, accessing the beach can be a challenge without a boat due to the steep climb down.
The beach has a sweeping curve and towering cliffs, which provide a sense of seclusion. On sunny afternoons, the water is clear blue, and yachts are anchored in the bay, creating a continental Riviera atmosphere.
The beach can be accessed by taking the coast path from Strete or parking on the A379, but a steep descent must still be navigated, regardless of which route is taken.
Additionally, dogs are permitted on the beach, making it a wonderful place to explore with your canine companion.
Visitor reviews highlight that the beach is beautiful and offers great views, with some mentioning the beach's proximity to Dartmouth Castle. Visitors enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to relax. However, some visitors complain about the steep descent to the beach, the lack of activities, and the pebbly sand.
Visitors to Landcombe Cove often stay in the nearby towns of Dartmouth or Strete, which offer a range of accommodations and easy access to the beach. While the cove itself is secluded and access is challenging, the charm of Dartmouth and the scenic coastal paths draw visitors who enjoy exploring the area.
