Watcombe Bay

Visit Watcombe Bay

Charming Watcombe beach is a secluded hidden gem in Torquay on the South Devon coast.

Getting to the beach involves a steep path that winds through mature woodland, providing a scenic descent to the cove. While the journey down is rewarding, visitors should be prepared for the climb back up, which can be strenuous.

It an ideal spot for those seeking a tranquil beach experience away from the more crowded tourist areas.
