Babbacombe (Beach), Devon |
Torquay and the surrounding area is one of Britain's most popular seaside destinations, benefitting from a mild climate; with its abundant palm trees and other subtropical vegetation it is not hard to see why it is known as 'The English Riviera'. Babbacombe Bay to the north of Torquay is particularly favoured with several attractive sandy beaches with high water quality standards along its 10km stretch.
Facilities:
Shop, Parking, Watersports, Moderate Dsabled Acess, Dogs Allowed, Toilets, Safe Swimming, Refreshments
Beach Type: Sand / Single
Wildlife and Walks
The South Devon Coast Path extends around the bay, offering glorious views. The mild climate encourages unusually luxuriant plant life and the area is favoured by rare butterflies. Leaflets describing Torbay's wildlife are available from the local Tourist Information Centre. The Teign Estuary can easily be explored from Ness Cove to the north of Babbacombe Bay and the Wildlife Trust has a centre nearby.
