Just a short walk from the picturesque Brixham harbour and the long breakwater, this gently sloping small, pebble beach is a real delight. With its calm warm waters, it is a popular spot for scuba diving with stunning underwater landscapes and an array of fish, seahorses and seagrass on display. The beach is also close to this quaint fishing town’s shops, cafes and thriving fish market. The newly refurbished Breakwater Bistro is worth a visit to take in the breathtaking panoramic sea views across the bay. This family run bistro provides the very best in service, atmosphere and a great menu with an extensive choice of locally sourced produce and Brixham caught fish dishes being firm favourites. Shoalstone Seawater Pool is a ten-minute walk away from Breakwater Beach. It is one of only a few remaining Lidos in the country and was built on a natural rock pool and opened in 1896. There is no entry charge to use the pool and there is a picnic area to bring your own food and drink. If you fancy a longer hike from the beach, why not make your way up to Berry Head Nature Reserve with its iconic lighthouse and Napoleonic Fort to take in even more stunning views? Look out for the wildlife on the land and swooping swallows and goldfinches, and guillemots on the cliffs and at sea. Dogs are also welcome on a lead here as well as at the charming and award-winning Guardhouse Café.
