Start Bay

In the past we have walked from Starcross to Blackpool Sand along Start Bay.  Today was a lovely summer's day so we thought we would walk along more of Start Bay.

We drove to Beesands and were very impressed by this fishing village by the sea.  There were people fishing from the beach and boats in the bay.  Some fish were drying at the top of the beach.

We walked along the path at the top of the beach til the end and then climbed to walk to Torcross.  It was a steep climb, but the view half way up encouraged us to keep going.

After a while the path became steps and then levelled off before winding down to Torcross.  There were hedges both sides of the path and overhanging above it and unfortunately there were lots of insects flying around.

As we approached Torcross there were spectacular views along Slapton Sands.

Having taken a rest at Torcross we walked back to Beesands where we had fish and chips at the restaurant on the seafront.  You could taste that the fish was freshly caught.  Once refreshed and replenished we walked on towards Hallsands.  Although a climb up from Beesands this was not as steep as in the opposite direction and we soon reached Hallsands.  This was another small village with beach but without the facilities at Beesands.
