Anstey's Cove has achieved an Quality Standard classification under the English Riviera Beach Standards. You can find out more about the beach standards and what they mean for visitors.
Anstey’s Cove sits between Torquay and Babbacombe. This quiet, peaceful and incredibly beautiful, small shingle beach nestles between high cliffs and a thickly wooded hillside. This is great place to come if you want to escape the crowds.
The cove is a perfect base for walks along the coastal paths leading to Hopes Nose, where there are impressive views across the bay and the surrounding area is a wildlife reserve so look out for the wildlife, plants, butterflies and birds.
It’s also a great place to try coasteering Opens which is an up and coming adventure activity that takes place around the rocky coastline.
