Forest and Beach | 2025 Detailed Profile (with Reviews)

We at Forest & Beach absolutely adore discovering new things about nature.
We hope to encourage people to share our passion for the environment by bringing them outside to experience our magnificent ancient woodland and the stunning South Devon beaches.
We collaborate with regional businesses, organisations, and people around the UK with a clear environmental goal to encourage understanding about environmental concerns.
A mile from the beach and tucked away in countryside, Beesands offers a variety of services, including farm excursions, agricultural education, bespoke educational packages, holiday activity days for kids, and team-building exercises for neighbourhood businesses.
Through imaginative, interesting, and enjoyable activities, Forest & Beach seeks to reacquaint people with nature.
We provide real-world, hands-on experience through the exploration of our magnificent natural surroundings in order to motivate others to succeed and learn.
Pete and Andrea are both certified primary teachers who have led Forest Schools.
I got in touch with Pete from Forest and Beach at Beeson and told him what I needed for my Year 6 students.
He not only pulled up a day that matched all of my requirements, but he also offered additional suggestions and materials to aid in the students' classroom instruction."
When Pete and his wife Andrea encouraged the kids to be scientists for the day and answer the question, "Why aren't we up to our heads in fallen leaves," the kids had a fantastic day in January at Forest and Beach.
They set off to learn the answers from the plants and animals in the woods, armed with their rucksacks of kit (provided by the Center).
I can't express enough how much I love Forest and Beach.
Pete and Andrea are very knowledgable, supportive, and helpful.
They were very open to organising a day to meet the requirements of different groups, in my experience.
Teacher of Year 6 at South Hams. "This week, I took my class to Forest and Beach, and they had a great time.
Children can freely explore the natural surroundings here while being safe and participating in constructive activities."
Pete had prepared a number of engaging games that sparked their creativity and produced a variety of descriptive language since he understood it was a hook for my literacy sessions.
The kids used their experiences in the forest to inspire some amazing literature that they have subsequently created. I truly can't wait to go back in the summer and enjoy the beach.
Foundation/Year 1 instructor Natalie Higgs "It was a lot of fun to make the mud soup.
The King Alfred's cake was my favourite thing that I discovered.
Run as a "social enterprise," Forest & Beach.
This implies that after all expenses, including salaries, have been covered, profits are reinvested in the company to promote our mission of introducing kids and adults to nature.
Although we are a company and not a nonprofit, we have a very specific social and environmental objective.
