Mount Batten Beach — Attraction in Plymouth

What a lovely little beach! Large car park with plenty of disabled parking bays and only a short walk along the public footpath to reach the access to the beach.this access is a few steps so not good for wheelchair users (I don’t know if there are any other places to access the beach). Dogs are allowed on to the beach so was busy with families. Lovely clean beach and water.

Its popular with canoeists. Can get impressively stormy in winter. As you can see from the pic -...
