Mill Bay Cove (Kingswear)

At the bottom of a steep descent, Mill Bay Cove (not to be confused with Mill Bay Beach in Salcombe) is found on the Kingswear side of the River Dart, tucked behind Kingswear Castle. 

The old building at the top of the beach was once a mill, hence the name of the bay, and offers wonderful views of the Start Bay coastline. It’s certainly a beach to visit if you’re up for exploring the rest of Kingswear as it’s en-route to the Brownstone Battery if you follow the South West Coast Path. Much like the other beaches mentioned above, it’s much lesser-known so there’s a slim chance you’ll see anyone else whilst swimming here.
