Beesands is a small fishing village located right on the National Trust coast path between the neighbouring villages of Torcross and historic Hallsands.

Many years ago the village was home to numerous fishing families who all worked hard together at their livelihood. Today the number of families involved in fishing is somewhat fewer,however Nick's father can often be seen during the summer months particularly landing his catch of crab, lobster and spider crab directly onto the beach to sell to Britannia.

Local bass fishermen bring their catch straight up the beach, still twitching, at the end of the day and the catches from Dartmouth and Salcombe arrive back at Britannia's holding tanks in the early evening.
