Bovisand is a natural coastline on the east side of Plymouth Sound in Devon, England. Despite the steep cliff paths and rocky surrounding, Bovisand features two beaches, a holiday park, privately owned bungalows and a diving centre at Fort Bovisand. The area is used by locals more than tourists because of its locality to Plymouth and Wembury, and because of the larger beaches on the other side of Plymouth Sound in Cornwall. It is often referred to as simply Bovi by locals. It lies just outside the boundaries of the city of Plymouth and instead within the district of South Hams.

The view from Bovisands includes Plymouth Breakwater, Mount Edgecombe and the English Channel towards France.
