Bigbury-on Sea, a small resort with excellent, large, beaches in a secluded position, very busy in summer, hence the large car park area.
Here you will find Burgh Island off the South Devon Coast most of which is open to the public is well worth a visit but you must keep an eye on the tides as at low tide you may walk over the sands to the island, at high tide the sand is covered by several feet of water with dangerous currents.

A large wheeled tractor will take you over for a small charge, this is handy as the tide comes in quite quickly and without the tractor you might have to spend extra time in the quaint old worlde pub "The Pilchard Inn".
The island also has a hotel and an inn, the hotel was constructed in the art deco style and was
visited by famous celebrities of the 20s and 30s. Agatha Christie wrote several stories whilst staying here

The island has a private hotel decorated mainly in art deco, built in 1929 by the millionaire Archibald Nettlefold the hotel was visited by Agatha Christie, who used the setting in two of her books.
