This article is about a small cove in north Devon. For the better known beach in Torbay, south Devon, see Broadsands.

Broadsands Beach is the marketing name given to a small cove located in Watermouth, North Devon, England, originally known as Broadstrands Beach. It is owned by Watermouth Valley Camping Park.[1][2] It is accessed by 220 cliff steps from the Old Ilfracombe to Combe Martin Coast Road.[3] A landslide which destroyed the path in April 2025 closed access to the beach for the rest of the year.[1][4] The beach has been awarded blue flag status.[5]
