Babbacombe Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

wear waterproof walking boots no good for wheelchairs great views thou and the hills keeps you fit

Tip by

3.21 km

Oddicombe beach has a long tradition: the colourful houses and terraces are evidence of the keen interest of visitors. We enjoyed the walk down - with every step you leave civilisation behind and find yourself in a natural seaside resort. At nine o'clock in the morning we saw people smiling happily after their swim in the sea.

Babbacombe Cliff Railway

Highlight • Structure

Check that the railway is running as was having maintenance work do, but there is a path which goes down to the beach ice cream shop cafe and toilets but they will cost you 30p each contactless great walk along the seafront

View of the South West Coast Path

Highlight • Viewpoint

The South West Coast Path gives you endless views of the sea. These meadows and hedges form the backdrop to the coastline. It is so relaxing - for us it was a real spectacle.

View of Teignmouth from Smugglers' Cove Path

Highlight • Viewpoint

This magnificent view is located on the South West Coast Path. We had typical English weather and as we approached Shaldon we saw the magic of this landscape. Isn't it fantastic?

Maidencombe Beach

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are not many visitors to Maidencomb Beach - mostly hikers on the South West Coast Path taking a break. The natural beauty of the bay is magnificent and the calm sea creates a peaceful atmosphere.

View of Anstey's Cove

Highlight • Beach

From above, Ancesty Cove looks dreamy. When you descend, you will find a very good breakfast waiting for you next to the clean sea.
