Wonwell Beach is situated on the south coast of Devon, England, on the eastern side of the mouth of the River Yealm. It is just one of many beaches in the area that form part of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The beach is mainly made up of sand and shingle and is bordered by cliffs and a small area of woodland. The beach is relatively secluded due to its location, being around two miles from the nearest village of Yealmpton. It is a popular destination for visitors looking for a peaceful and tranquil spot to relax as well as being a great spot for fishing and kayaking.

The beach is exposed to the open sea and its waves can be powerful at times so swimming is not advised. The currents can also be quite strong so it's important to take care when in the sea. There are no lifeguards at Wonwell Beach but the neighbouring beaches of Mothecombe and Bigbury have lifeguards on duty during the summer season.

Wonwell Beach is a great spot for birdwatching and wildlife watching, with a variety of species of birds, including gulls, cormorants, oystercatchers and curlews, being regularly seen. Dolphins, seals and even basking sharks have also been known to be spotted offshore.

The beach is a great place to explore the rockpools which are teeming with life, and the nearby cliffs offer stunning views across the bay towards Plymouth. For those looking to take a longer walk, the South West Coast Path runs along the coast, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

For those looking to take a break, there are two cafes: The Beach Cafe and The Beach Hut, both serving a range of snacks and drinks, and both of which provide stunning views across the beach. There is also a small car park and a public toilet close to the beach.

Wonwell Beach is a great spot for visitors looking for a peaceful and tranquil spot to relax and explore. With its stunning views, excellent wildlife watching opportunities and a range of activities, it's no surprise that the beach is such a popular destination for many visitors.
