The South West Coast Path crosses the beach. There are some good rock pools on the beach at low tide.
The beach is cleaned daily by hand in high season by the National Trust and the Council.
Off the A379 follow signs for Thurlestone and South Milton and then signs to both beaches.
There is an occasional bus service (First in Devon Service 162) to Thurlestone and South Milton village. The nearest railway stations are Plymouth and Totnes.
