Bantham, Devon

Bantham is a coastal village in the South Hams, Devon. It is quietly nestled within the Bantham Estate which covers 728 acres in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and lies on the estuary of the River Avon, less than a quarter of a mile from the sea at Bigbury Bay and Burgh Island.   Salcombe is to the east and Plymouth to the west.  Bantham Beach is extremely popular with families as it is shallow and sandy and lifeguards on duty from May to September.  It is also one of the best surfing beaches in South Devon. There is a full range of guest accommodation available in the area such as B&B’s, hotels, camp sites and holiday cottages which swell with holiday makers during the warmer months of the year. There is also a large number of second homeowners who frequent the area throughout the year.    



Bantham Village Store & Café provides elevated views of the Avon estuary, across to Burgh Island and Bigbury and is only a 4 minute walk to the beautiful Bantham Beach.  The Café & Store, which operates throughout the year, offers both locals and visitors a one stop shop for groceries and freshly prepared pasties, breakfasts and lunches and a range of hot & cold drinks to eat in or take away.  The Café is also licenced and during the holiday season the owners offer regular events in the evening such as BBQ’s, Pizza nights and Fish nights.  The decking provides seating for 65-70 where the customers are able to enjoy the panoramic views. The owners have taken into consideration our changeable weather and offer a covered seating area.  Customers can also enjoy their refreshments in an ‘All-Weather Pod’!
