Remove ads
Beesands is a small settlement located midway between Hallsands and Torcross on the coast of Start Bay in South Devon, England. It is best known as a tourist destination. However, it is still a fishing village that concentrates mainly on crab and lobster fishing through Britannia Fisheries.[1] There is an Anglican chapel dedicated to St Andrew in the village. Behind the beach, north of the settlement, is a freshwater lake known as Widdecombe Ley, smaller but similar in ecology to Slapton Ley about a 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) to the north.[2]
Keith Richards' family regularly spent holidays at Beesands during the 1950s. Keith Richards and Mick Jagger's first public performance was at The Cricket Inn in the village.[3][4]
