The Sunday Times Beach of the Year 2021

And only half a mile from Pickwell Manor holiday apartments and treehouses. With 2 miles of glorious, golden sand, there is still plenty of space for everyone, even in the summer months.

We are fully booked for the summer as you can imagine, but come mid-September and October - when the weather can still be amazing and the Devon roads less of a challenge - you can have even more space to relax and unwind, or swim and surf from Britain’s finest beach.

As nearly half of our visitors return to holiday at Pickwell, you can even get a 10% discount as a friend of Pickwell, if you have stayed with us before. That could pay for a really great meal at one of the excellent pubs in our local village.

Have you taken the challenge? Not that easy is it. The stuff is everywhere!

We are working hard to do our bit and have replaced the foam bodyboards we lend to guests with wooden ones, and looked at every area of our business as we try to do more. A committed group of local volunteers ensure our beaches are super clean and plastic-free. There’s a simple message they want to share: Please take off the beach everything you took on the beach.

So if it is a long weekend with the kids, or a week-long break when they are back at school, we look forward to seeing you in the Autumn. And don’t forget we are now taking bookings for Christmas, and the numbers are limited so don’t leave it too late.
