Located on the shores of the UK's first National Marine Park, Mount Batten Bay is a small sand and shingle beach with stunning views of the Plymouth Sound. The beach is home to an incredible variety of wildlife and is part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), making it one of the best sites in the area for exploring the rock pools.
The gazebo will be set up on the left hand side of the beach as you come down the stairs, near the pipe that runs the length of the beach.
The only access to the beach is via a set of steep wooden stairs.

Mount Batten has a free carpark overlooking the beach and is a short walk from the stairs that lead down to it. The stairs are normally visible from the car park itself.
The beach is located on the main road leading to the Mount Batten breakwater and can be reached by a short walk from the ferry station at the Mount Batten Water Sports Centre.
Mount Batten is accessible by the ferry that operates from the Barbican that leaves at the quarter-past and quarter-to of each hour and leaves Mount batten on the half-past and on the hour. The number 2 bus stops directly opposite the beach stairs and leaves from Royal Parade in the city centre.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our BioBlitz Battles soon!
