Brixham

A fishing port through and through, still very much active today, with all the hustle and bustle of a working port.

"You couldn't find a better place to sample the fresh catch of the day, available from countless restaurants, cafes and seafood stalls"

Within a short level walk from Brixham Marina there are restaurants, pubs and nautical shops, and a five minute walk takes you to Brixham’s pretty inner harbour and town centre where there are many attractions, shops and plenty of good hostelries.

Almost alongside the marina is Breakwater Beach which usually has good safe bathing, rockpools and a café/bistro.

There is a free open-air seawater swimming pool nearby (summer only!) and lots of lovely walks – out along the ¾ mile breakwater, or either way on the SW Coast Path – one way via Berry Head with its Napoleonic forts and spectacular views, the other way round the harbour to some lovely coves and on to Goodrington for the more energetic.

The popular Shoalstone Seawater Pool is close nearby:

For those wishing to go further afield, there is an excellent bus service to Paignton and Torquay (every 10-15mins), or a half-hourly service to Kingswear for the ferry to Dartmouth. Close to Brixham is the Quaywest Waterpark and the famous Paignton Zoo
