are you wondering what elberry cove is like ? see it ! have i had a 5-star experience ? oh yes, i say it ! you also wanna enjoy it ? go and you're sorted !

i recommened getting there by double-decker bus – you'll get to experience closeness to tree canopy as well as wide views of green fields with cows and sheep. upon arrival, walk past the purple alien flower, below a scenic bridge and you'll arrive in broadsands beach's wonderful landscape defined by wasser, wiese, wald. the vast reddish coastline transports you into a surreal universe with a backdrop of fluffy clouds, an old railroad winding its way through the cliffs and tiny colorful houses keeping our secrets. the ebb & flow might reveal a graveyard of crabs, but will hopefully make you wonder how you hold your dreams instead of holding on to toxic anger. to connect deeper with the space, i suggest digging your feet into the squishy sand and merging your skin with green algae after a refreshing swim.

if you're hungry, an admirer of dogs or both, go get some bubble & squeak at venus café and check out the photos of previous furry visitors. you might even get a wet greeting by ralph ! continue your spaziergang up the grassy hill that is sprinkled with plenty of benches offering rest. further up the trail, a magical forest delights you with playful shadows. this is the time to rethink goal orientation, leave the path and adventure down to the hidden cove. it's only you, black rocks beautifully covered in yellow lychen, an abundance of pretty pastel shells and, occasionally, a random stranger dropped off by a boat. water levels rise quickly, so enjoy your stay while you can. when returning, follow the smell of firewood, marshmallows & corn on a cob to dive into comforting memories of summery beach days.

a vibrant moment, a bittersweet ending. this rollercoaster ride of emotions might be a bit too much for your little heart, so beware of the melancholia possibly following the awakening from this turtle...

Elburry is a small shingle beach with access via the Southwest Costal Path from Bradsands carpark and has the remains of the Old Pump house at the far end, this is gated to prevent access to the old building.

This is designated as one of two ski lanes in Torbay and is utilised by many water sport enthusiasts and open water swimmers; these areas are well marked and visitors should be considerate when visiting “Familiarisation with the Harbour Bey Law’s will keep you in the good book with other users.

This is also used as shelter by smaller vessels who use as overnight mooring or in rough weather take shelter depending on the wind direction, this area dose support large areas of sea grass that provides habitat for sea horses and other marine life areas are marked to assist with anchorage though there are some three free short stay moorings that are available in Fishcombe a short way from this location.

If using the ski lane please note that the direction is reversed in this area and when exiting the ski lane there are submerged rocks just out site the markers be cautious at low water.

I use this beach for water Skiing, knee boarding and paddle boarding but have seen jet ski's suck up pebbles on the beach requiring them to be towed back to...

This is a really stunning beach. The water was beautiful and the cove is stunning. We visited on a very busy day and walked along the cost path from Broadsands which was packed! So it was nice to get away from the crowds. The walk is about 10-15mins with kids and it’s over a hill so a bit of a climb with all your gear! Once there it’s worth it, until the speed boats and jet bikes come Along and pollute the serenity with their noisy engines and high speeds making the cove feel a little unwelcoming to swim in! We stuck to the rocks where they can’t go but it’s still very noisy and overwhelming! I wonder if there should be restrictions in place for times of day these people can use that cove to...

Absolutely stunning place for a walk, if you park at broadsands carpark and follow the coastal path for 5 mins you end up here. (Apparently one of agatha christies favorite bathing spots!) This beach is dog friendly in the summer! Its mainly shingles and pebbles but looks amazing for paddleboarding/ kayacking. This cove is also full of seagrass so its an important site for our native seahorses. The only downside is water sports (such as jet skis) are allowed really close to the shore which can be noisy, and should be kept in mind if swimming :)

Beautiful cove a short 10 minute walk from Broadsands beach. We parked at Broadsands beach car park and walked across a lovely field with views of the sea to Elberry cove. Some steep steps lead down to the cove. It was quite busy (wednesday daytime) but everyone was socially distanced and we found a spot on the beach. The sea was lovely and clear. Cove was very pebbly with some larger rocks. Really enjoyed it here - nearest cafe and facilities were at Broadsands beach. Would return.
