Elbury Cove, also known as Elberry Cove, is a steeply-shelving pebble beach surrounded by woodland, providing a tranquil and scenic spot for visitors. The beach is situated within Torbay, which has Global Geopark status and is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The area is notable for its limestone grasslands, rare plants, and lichens.
The beach is only accessible on foot, via the coast path from the neighbouring beach of Broadsands. Despite its relatively remote location, Elbury Cove offers a range of activities, including sea fishing and water skiing, as it is an approved water-skiing area. The calm and sheltered waters make it an ideal spot for these pursuits.
While the beach itself is relatively undeveloped, parking and facilities are available at Broadsands, which is located nearby. Visitors can also explore the woodland walks on the south side of the beach or simply relax and enjoy the scenery. The beach is usually quiet, making it a peaceful destination for those looking to escape the crowds.
The beach has a rich history, with the ruins of the Elberry Bath House, once used by Lord Churston, located nearby. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, making it a popular spot for dog owners.
Elbury Cove is adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
