Bigbury is a small village located in the South Hams district of Devon, England. It is situated on the coast of the English Channel and is known for its beautiful beaches and stunning views. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and green fields, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. The village is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the 14th-century St. Lawrence's Church and the 16th-century Bigbury Castle.

One of the main attractions of Bigbury is its beach, which is a popular spot for swimming, surfing, and sunbathing.
