A coastal freshwater lagoon behind a shingle bar with views of the sea, reedbeds, salt marsh and surrounding rolling Devon countryside. Ideal for birdlife, reflections, long vistas and textured foregrounds. Best at sunrise/sunset for low light and color; autumn/winter bring migratory birds. Accessible from A379 with a small car park at Slapton Sands; paths are flat but can be muddy—bring waterproofs and binoculars. No formal entry fee; respect wildlife hides and seasonal restrictions.
