Stoke Beach
★★★★☆
(27)
The seabed off Stoke Point and to the west could well be described as South Devon’s “Sponge Gardens”. There are depths to suit novice divers but the best rock formations and wildlife are deeper than 20 m below low water level.
This is a great location for photography of colourful marine life. Pause and look where the sand covers low-lying rocks – there are many species of sponges including some rare ones.
