As the busy holiday season approaches, a network of coastal buses offers a car‑free route to some of Devon and Cornwall's most striking seaside locations - including one special route that is about to come back into service.
Stagecoach South West's seasonal number 54 "beach bus" returns each May, linking Plymouth city centre with Bovisand Beach for the summer.
Peter Knight, managing director for Stagecoach South West, said the seasonal bus was an "easy, affordable and sustainable way to reach the coast", without the need to drive or park.
Meanwhile in Plymouth and beyond, there are many seasonal and permanent coastal bus services around the South West, designed to help residents and visitors reach beaches, harbours and coastal paths without needing a car.
Plymouth Citybus' number 70 service provides year-round travel from Plymouth to Cawsand, stopping off at Torpoint, Whitsand Bay, and various other locations along the coast along the way.
