  • Restaurant, bar, takeaway and shop
A Blackpool beach – in south Devon? Bamboozle those back home with Blackpool references ahoy when you pitch up at Leonards Cove Holiday Park, set within easy strolling distance not of Blackpool in Lancs, but the south-west beach of Blackpool Sands. The safe clear waters and long sandy stretch here are within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty: as you might reckon, miles' worth of similarly scenic sands are close to this cove too. You'll also be a mere few minutes' drive from the old seadog port of Dartmouth, and within 50 at most from family days out at famed attractions like Paignton Zoo, Pennywell Farm and Woodlands Family Theme Park, five miles from Dartmouth. Leonards Cove is a peaceful, popular and roomy place, with spectacular sea views from many parts of the site. Its main hub is the Trattoria Spaggia bar-restaurant, which dishes up meals for those who want to eat in; if not, takeaways are available and there's a well-stocked shop on site for any additional foodie bits. A play field is also on site, just opposite one of the gently sloping accommodation fields. For amenities, there's a washing-up area, freezer pack storage and a freshwater tap, as well as fully-serviced toilet and shower blocks with free hot water. And finally... barbecues are allowed on site: even if you have an aversion to charring sausages over the flames, sitting back here for alfresco eats among the lush backdrop of a south Devon sunset is pretty much a must.

Local attractions

It's about 20 minutes' walk along the peaceful coast path to get to Blackpool Sands, where you can stretch out on your beach towel, fill up at the beach café, or rent kayaks and paddleboards to get out onto the water. After that, it's a short drive to plentiful highlights and family days out around Devon, such as to the castle and steam railway of Dartmouth, five minutes' drive away; the county's biggest amusement park Woodlands Family Theme Park, within 15 minutes, and rambles around the waters of the Dart estuary, just below Dartmouth Castle. Pennywell Farm, the activities and spectacular scenery of Dartmoor, the Splashdown Quaywest waterpark, Torquay and Kents Cavern, and the Buckfast Butterfly Farm and Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary are all within 45—50 minutes' drive.
