Bantham Surf Guide
South Devon's most famous spot, a good swell catcher with consistent banks sculpted in the mouth of the River Avon. There's a consistent right near the rivermouth and in the middle of the bay there's a right and a left. Inexperienced surfers watch out for rips, especially on dropping tides. Popular break, crowded when good. South Devon's most famous spot, a good swell catcher with consistent banks sculpted in the mouth of the River Avon.
