The sandy beach at Outer Hope, sheltered by the harbour wall and the village behind. The council order here is a daytime rather than a total ban, so an early morning or evening walk on the sand is legal all summer; between ten in the morning and seven in the evening it is not.
THE SMALL PRINTSouth Hams PSPO 2024: "Mouthwell Sands at Hope Cove - Between 1st May and 30th September inclusive between the hours of 10:00 and 19:00 in any 24 hour period." Dogs are permitted outside those hours.
Nobody has written one for Mouthwell Sands. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
