A romantic beach walk
South Devon’s beaches are the perfect place for a romantic walk under the stars or sun. And there’s always a cosy pub or cafe close by where you can warm up with a hot chocolate or something stronger. Many cafes and restaurants are also dog-friendly if you have bought your pooch with you.
