Sand Acre Bay is a part of the Churchtown Farm Nature Reserve, and provides fantastic open views over the Tamar Estuary. From here, looking south, you should be able to spot HMS Brecon, a former Navy vessel, now static off Jupiter Point, and involved in training.

The Hoe is a large limestone plateau on the edge of which is the citadel. In the park on the Hoe there is a large collection of impressive monuments to the great seafaring nation, including the first circumnavigator Francis Drake, the victory over the Spanish Armada and the two World Wars. Built in front of the sea is the Tinside seawater outdoor pool in Art Deco style, which is definitely worth looking for, and the huge, freely accessible sea bathing area right next to it with a bit of Lost Place charm.

The Hoe is really the heart of Plymouth; a huge greenspace with dramatic memorials, Smeaton's Tower and unrivalled views. In summer, the grass is covered with people having picnics, throwing frisbees and admiring the fantastic panorama of Plymouth Sound. It's a wonderful place to watch the boats and come for a walk.
