Saunton Sands is a beach in the English village of Saunton on the North Devon coast near Braunton, popular as a longboard surfing location.[1] Its southern end, Crow Point, lies at the mouth of the River Taw estuary.[2] It is part of the Taw-Torridge estuary Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is at the centre of the UNESCO-designated North Devon's Biosphere Reserve, where Braunton Burrows lies at the heart. Saunton Sands Hotel overlooks the beach at the northern end. This is cordoned off a few times a year and the beach used as an air strip for military transport planes, usually Lockheed C-130 Hercules of the Royal Air Force, to practice STOL beach landings and take offs.[3] There are permanent restrictions in some areas for flying kites on this part of the beach.[4] Saunton Sands is popular with surfers because the beach is long and provides space for large groups. On 3 August 1990, a temperature of {{convert|35.4|°C}} was recorded at Saunton Sands, which is the highest temperature recorded in the England's south-west.[5] In popular cultureSaunton Sands was used as a location for the 1946 Powell and Pressburger film A Matter of Life and Death (sometimes called Stairway to Heaven)[6], and can be seen where David Niven's character is washed up on the beach after he jumps from his plane without a parachute – and survives. It was a major location for the 1978 horror film The Shout, along with the adjacent Braunton Burrows.[7] The beach was used as a location for the Second World War Anzio landings scenes in the 1982 Pink Floyd film The Wall[8] and as the backdrop for over 700 wrought iron hospital beds on the cover of the band's 1987 album A Momentary Lapse of Reason.[9] Saunton Sands also doubled for the Normandy beaches in 2014's movie Edge of Tomorrow.[10] In the late 1990s the beach was used for the video for the Robbie Williams song "Angels".[11] In 2013 it was used again for the video for the Olly Murs song "Hand on Heart".[12] The BBC One series A Very English Scandal filmed scenes as Saunton Sands to depict a California beach, complete with digitally-rendered palm trees, where the character of Peter Bessell (Alex Jennings) lives.[13] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.sauntonbeach.info/beach/|title=Saunton Sands Beach {{!}} Saunton Beach|work=Saunton Beach|access-date=2017-10-13|language=en-GB}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.thebeachguide.co.uk/south-west-england/devon/saunton-sands.htm|title=Saunton Sands Beach {{!}} Devon {{!}} UK Beach Guide|last=Guide|first=Copyright The Beach|website=UK Beach Guide|language=en-GB|access-date=2017-10-13}} 3. ^{{Citation|last=Mark Fowler|title=C130 J HERCULES SAUNTON SANDS TACTICAL OPERATIONS|date=2014-04-03|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDOGv7OcyTw|accessdate=2017-10-13}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.bluechipholidays.co.uk/devon/saunton-braunton/kitesurfing-at-saunton-sands|title=Kitesurfing at Saunton Sands - Blue Chip Holidays|website=www.bluechipholidays.co.uk|language=en|access-date=2017-10-13}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/location/southwestengland/temperature.html |title=South-west England: Temperature |publisher=The Met Office |accessdate=2009-04-16 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081120152227/http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/location/southwestengland/temperature.html |archivedate=November 20, 2008 }} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.powell-pressburger.org/Reviews/46_AMOLAD/|title=Reviews of "A Matter of Life and Death (1946)"|website=www.powell-pressburger.org|access-date=2017-10-13}} 7. ^{{Citation|title=The Shout (1978)|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078259/locations|accessdate=2017-10-13}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-4456398/Lily-James-covers-location-new-film-Guernsey.html|title=Lily James films in WWII aircraft replica for new flick Guernsey|work=Mail Online|access-date=2017-10-13}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk/1987-pink-floyd-a-momentary-lapse-of-reason|title=1987 – Pink Floyd – A Momentary Lapse of Reason|date=2000-12-28|work=Neptune Pink Floyd|access-date=2017-10-13|language=en-US}} 10. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.movie-locations.com/movies/e/Edge-Of-Tomorrow.html#.WeDq9miCyUk|title=Filming Locations for Edge Of Tomorrow: Live Die Repeat (2014), in London and the UK.|last=Reeves|first=Tony|work=The Worldwide Guide to Movie Locations|access-date=2017-10-13}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.robbiewilliams.com/video/angels-music-video|title=Robbie Williams|website=www.robbiewilliams.com|language=en|access-date=2017-10-13}} 12. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.northdevongazette.co.uk/news/video-olly-murs-releases-hand-on-heart-video-shot-on-saunton-1-2962909|title=VIDEO: Olly Murs releases Hand on Heart video shot on Saunton|last=Howells|first=Sarah|work=North Devon Gazette|access-date=2017-10-13|language=en}} 13. ^{{cite article| url=https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-12-10/where-is-a-very-english-scandal-filmed/| title=Where is A Very English Scandal filmed?| author=Eleanor Bley Griffiths| publisher=Radio Times| date=2018-06-03| access-date=2019-01-18}} External links{{commonscat|Saunton Sands}}
