Location and the Beach
Petitor Beach is situated on the north side of Torquay, about 2 miles from the town centre, near St Marychurch. Mainly pebbles, with some sand and large rocks.
Directions
By Car
Take the B3199 from Torquay town on the Babbacombe Road, which will take you to the St Marychurch area. When you have passed through St Marychurch turn RIGHT at the small island into Petitor Road and with Torquay Golf Club on your left, drive to the end of Petitor Road, where you can [normally] park.
By Public Transport
There is also a bus service from 'The Strand' (the harbour). take the number 32 service and get off at St.Marychurch village.
Access to the beach and Naturism
Leaving the car, walk to the end of Petitor Road (the sea end, not the St.Marychurch village end) and go through the metal swing gate and down the long grassy slope. At the end turn left and continue down to the beach - it's a stiff trek down.
