  • Hi, I live in East Devon and the rockpools are good in Exmouth and Sidmouth. But for something a little more special try Wembury Beach, Plymstock, Devon.

    Wembury is the best one in South Devon. They even have a resource/information centre telling you all about what you may find (and its free). Its National Trust so if you are not a member you will need to pay for car parking or do what we do and park up the road.
    Hope this helps.....
    pm me if you need more info....

    ooh you just beat me to it! :rotfl: :D
  • if you fancy torbay then broadsands has some i think plus a centre where they run activites etc in holiday season like beach walks and rock pooling, in brixham the beach at st marys bay has some plus the lesser known beach at mansands (you cant drive all way to mansands though, you have to park at top and walk down the lane).

    I can allways ask my mom as she lives in Brixham and works at two of the holiday camps there.

    Hi

    North Sands at Salcombe, and Bigbury Beach are fantastic for rock pools.
    We go every year, and my kids (and me) love it!!

    Good luck
    Please take the time to have a look around my Daughter's website www.daisypalmertrust.co.uk
