Wonwell Beach is one of a trio of beaches within the Flete Estate on the banks of the River Erme. The beach is quiet and scenic, offering a cosy strip of sand at high tide and a generous expanse of golden sand at low tide. The name of the beach originates from the row of old coastguard cottages that sit above the beach, overlooking the river mouth.
The beach has a slipway, making it more accessible than the other nearby beaches. It is also the recommended low tide crossing point for the estuary, with tide information displayed on the slip. Visitors can walk to the beach from neighbouring Mothecombe beach at low tide.
Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round.
The beach is situated near Ivybridge in Devon.
Wonwell Beach is on the South Devon Heritage Coast, and adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
