Bantham beach, which is only 20 minutes from Flear, is situated at the mouth of the river Avon, just South East of Bigbury on Sea. It is fantastically easy to get to, with lots of parking, and makes an excellent family beach with perfect sand for making castles and shallow pools for smaller children.We arrived about 4pm to miss the extreme heat and have a play and a picnic, which worked wonders as many of the day's beach-goers had already left.
