Livermead Sands
Livermead Sands lies on the southern fringes of Torquay on the South Devon coast.
Just north of Livermead Head lie the twin beaches of Institute Beach and Livermead Sands.
Institute Beach consists of coarse red Devon sand and is overlooked by many. The beach has no facilities but has a natural feel, with good views across Torbay to the new harbour.
Livermead Sands Beach is a narrow strand of red Devon sand adjacent to the Livermead Cliff Hotel in the north of Torbay. The beach disappears at low tide so please be aware of the state of the tide before visiting.
The centre of the beach is dedicated to water skiing and the northeastern end of the beach becomes rocky as you near Corbyn's Head. Toilets are available close by. All other facilities are available at the neighbouring Corbyn's Beach and Torre Abbey Sands to the northeast.
