Visit Babbacombe Beach
Babbacombe Beach in South Devon is a sheltered shingle beach beneath high cliffs, offering a traditional and scenic English Riviera experience. With a promenade, café, and fishing-friendly waters, it attracts visitors looking for a quieter alternative to central Torquay.
Once a small fishing town, this unspoilt cove attracts visitors all year round, and is a well known scuba diving destination.
During the summer visitors can hire a sunbed and relax on the beach, go kayaking or explore the area.
The nearby model village and historic theatre add extra interest, while the surrounding cliffs provide protection from wind and swell. A cliff railway connects the beach to the village above, making access easier than it first appears.
