Landcombe Cove

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.
