There is a café/restaurant, toilets, disabled visitors' facilities, disabled access to the beach, and a slipway.
First aid is available, together with a lost child centre.
The beach has a dog restricted area, and a place for moored bathing rafts. There is also a pay car park.
The beach is two thirds of a mile long and is flanked by steep, wooded cliffs.
This is one of the very best beaches in Devon and is popular with families.
