About this spot
One of the most spectacular kite spots in the south west — a sweeping sandy bay at the mouth of the River Avon, with powerful Atlantic swell and strong tidal currents. Experienced riders only. When conditions align, the wave riding here is exceptional; when they don't, the river mouth and tidal rip will remind you why you shouldn't be there.
Hazards
Parking
The Bantham Estate car park is the only option — contactless payment only, no cash accepted. High-season rates run around £8.50 per day; off-season from £3.50. Weekly (£25), fortnightly (£40) and annual (£95) passes are available. Gates close at 6pm — vehicles still inside after closing incur a £100 release fee.
