Anstey’s Cove sits between Torquay and Babbacombe. This quiet, peaceful and incredibly beautiful, small shingle beach nestles between high cliffs and a thickly wooded hillside. This is great place to come if you want to escape the crowds.

The cove is a perfect base for walks along the coastal paths leading to Hopes Nose, where there are impressive views across the bay and the surrounding area is a wildlife reserve so look out for the wildlife, plants, butterflies and birds.

It’s also a great place to try coasteering  Opens in a new window False which is an up and coming adventure activity that takes place around the rocky coastline.
