We are now feeling the change in temperature (most days) and summer is right around the corner so we have put together a list of beaches which are near Plymouth and just a bus journey away. As some of our students are from landlocked countries and have never experienced the seaside, when coming here to study we would recommend at least one visit to the beach if they have the chance.

Below are the nearest beaches, which are the easiest to get to and with frequent travel options.
