Poppit Sands Beach

Nice sandy beach with good views across the estuary. Parking is good with a large overflow area at weekends. Parking machines take cash or you can pay by app. The café is pretty good and you can save a few pennies by asking for "yesterday's" pastries. Toilets available. The beach is large at high tide becoming massive at low tide, so be prepared for a long walk to the water, check the tides. The beach is mostly open to dogs, with the main swimming area excluded. RNLI are present 10am to 6pm. There is a bus stop at the car park entrance.

Be sure to bring cash if you’re parking near the café, as that’s the preferred payment method—and spaces fill up quickly. The café offers a nice selection of baked goods and coffee. The beach is a wide, open stretch of sand, popular with dog walkers. If you’re just planning a stroll and to enjoy the views, around two hours should be plenty.

A lovely beach that welcomes dogs over the winter months. A car park and cafe are close by. There is a RNLI shop by the beach as well. I would expect during the summer it would be tricky to park on a sunny day. It was getting busy by mid morning on a sunny February day when we visited. There are toilets on site too. You will need cash for the parking machine as the pay machine didn't accept card only pay by phone but signal was poor. Only a donation suggestion in the winter months for parking though which is a good idea, making it more accessible for people.

Great clean beach with toilets. Easy access to the beach from the car park. Could imagine that in peak season it would be hard to find a parking space. Dog friendly off season.

Very tight roads in some places to get there but a lovely beach ⛱️ and no jellyfish

A lovely, safe beach for children because the shallows are vast, so there's plenty of play space in the water. Life guards were on duty when we visited with our granddaughter. It's let down by having a smallish car park in relation to the beach size, and having only one food and drink outlet, thereby giving it a monopoly to charge ridiculous prices. Take your own food and drink and don't let your kids see the ice creams!

Fabulous beach with decent car park, flat access to beach & free toilets, what's not to like!

Lovely beach for the dogs - one end has a seasonal dog ban. The rest is great for them to run about on. Car park has charges, but not too steep (thankfully cash as had no phone signal). Cafe is very nice but closes early.
