Things to do in Thurlestone
If you’re planning to escape to the coast for a spot of wild swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking or snorkelling in the crystal-clear waters, you’ve come to the right place. Sitting between Bantham and Hope Cove, Thurlestone and South Milton have a totally unspoilt coastline and are far less crowded than their popular neighbours. Look no further than one of our finest holiday cottages in Thurlestone for easy access to the coast. The beaches, coastal paths and hinterland are unique and the perfect habitat for seals, birds, and wildlife. You may even spot a pod of dolphins if you’re lucky. But it’s not all about the beach, head off the beaten track and discover ancient woodlands, sunken lanes and tracks and trails for hiking or cycling, right on your doorstep. Play a round of golf, join a yoga class on the beach, hire a boat and get out on the water or head to a nearby town for a spot of retail therapy.
