Hallsands is a village and beach in south Devon, perched precariously between cliffs and the sea. Back in the day, it was a bustling spot with houses, a pub called the London Inn, and a thriving crab fishing scene. But things took a turn when dredging for a naval dockyard messed with the beach, leading to erosion and eventually the village's demise. Nowadays, all that's left are ruins and a haunting reminder of nature's power.

It’s great to incorporate Hallsands and Beesands on a 3.5 mile circular walk so you can take in both beautiful beaches, quaint villages and stunning coastal scenery. I’ve linked the walk details below for a step by step!
