Firestone bay is a small pebble beach to the West of Plymouth Sound located next to Devil’s Point. It provides great views of Mount Edgcumbe, Stonehouse peninsula and Drake’s Island.
Connected to the popular Royal William Yard via an historic archway through the sea wall is a popular spot for swimmers, snorkelers and paddleboarders, with areas marked with yellow buoys while the nearby tidal pool offers an area for people wanting to just dip their toes in.
Firestone has also made history by becoming part of the UK’s first National Marine Park.

Devil's Point is a location on the eastern side of the mouth of the River Tamar where it meets the English Channel at Plymouth Sound. It is a historical, environmental and geological site with stunning views across the Hamoaze to Mount Edgcumbe in Cornwall and across Plymouth Sound to Drake's Island and beyond.
Devil's Point has played a military role too, with a former reservoir supplying the iconic Royal William Yard next door and World War II defenses still visible. You can imagine watching Darwin's ship, The Beagle, anchor at Barn Pool in 1837, just before he embarked on his famous voyage around the world, or watching Napoleon pacing on the deck of HMS Bellerophon, which sailed in July anchored in the Sound in 1815 before being banished to St. Helena.
