Prawle Point (Old English: Prǣwhyll, "lookout hill") is a coastal headland in south Devon, England.

[1][2][3] Access is from the village of East Prawle along a single-track road, at the end of which a National Trust car park is present.

[4] Lalla Rookh, a tea clipper, was wrecked after striking Gammon head, afterwards being broken up and blown into Elender Cove, where she lies underneath the sand today.

[3] In December 1992 the ship Demetrios, formerly the Long Lin from China, was being towed by a tug from Dunkirk to a Mediterranean scrapyard.

The wreck attracted huge crowds for many weeks, and eventually a local salvage company cut up the ship and towed away the remains to Plymouth.
