Brixham has a number of
beaches including Breakwater Beach located near Brixham harbour, this
is a pebbly beach, ideal shallow paddling for the kids, going out
to deeper water for scuba diving. A beachside restaurant, which serves
A La Carte seafood amongst other dishes (open evenings too, great
views), and a beach cafe for takeaway snacks, etc. This is a popular
beach for diving activities. There is a decent sized car park right
by the beach. A favorite beach is at Sholestone - this is situated
just beyond breakwater beach. Here, you will find a terrific salt-water
outdoor swimming pool, right by the edge of the sea - and it's free.
Its supervised by lifeguards, and you can hire sun beds and deckchairs.
The beach is served by a refreshments kiosk with outdoor tables and
chairs. |
