The picturesque and unspoiled village of Hope Cove lies in the sheltered curve of Bigbury Bay on Devon’s south coast. A choice destination for families, the two beaches offering soft sand and rock pools for sandcastle building and fishing for small crabs. The town remains a fishing village where crabs and lobsters are still landed, however it was once used by smugglers. Many ships have perished around the coast and the wrecks that lie beneath the waves make it a popular spot for divers. Above the beach there are a number of pubs and restaurants. The coastal footpath can be joined from here and leads towards Bigbury-on-sea in one direction and the coastal resort of Salcombe in the other.

Plenty of space to move around especially as I have mobility issues.

This is not what you want to find after a long drive from Lincolnshire.The office did sort it eventually. Having got over that we went on to have a lovely holiday. The position is wonderful. The views are superb and Hope is just a short walk away. We greatly enjoyed our coast path walks. We will return despite the bad start.

The seagulls helped, but we went past the first time. The parking was limited. The views were excellent, seeing the beach and sea. It was an easy path down to the beach.
