Langdon Beach. Big rock, shingle and sand beach running pretty much from Wembury Point around to Wembury Beach by Wembury.
Wembury Point Beach. Small, 'secret' beach at Wembury Point west of Wembury Beach and Wembury Marine Centre.
Beaches east of Wembury
Cellar Beach. Looks out across the mouth of the River Yealm and Estuary to Wembury Bay. Superb location but you'll need to take a foot passenger ferry, the South West Coast Path and then a skinny path to access this 'secret' beach. Worth the effort.
Beaches west of Wembury
Bovisand Beach. Sand beach looking out across Plymouth Sound to Kingsand and Cawsand in Cornwall. Follow the South West Coast Path from Wembury to visit Bovisand Beach.
