Brixham in General Reviews


Newest Review: ... morning from the boat to the fish market. Buy it. Try it. Or test fresh fish from one of the many restaurants. And don't forget that famous British creation - Fish & Chips. Hmmm. They taste twice as good here in Brixham. Brixham has numerous beaches - they are either shingle or rocks, or pebbles/sand. The main beach - Breakwater Beach is just around the harbour, the other side of the breakwater - this is a pebbly beach, best shallow paddling for the kids, going out to deeper water for scuba diving. A beachside restaurant which serves A La Carte seafood among other dishes (open evenings too, great views), and a beach cafe for takeaway ... more

We stayed in Brixham for 8 days in august of this year. What a pity about the anti social behaviour displayed by gangs of local younger residents of Brixham. The town main car park seems to be a meeting place for such groups. Who like to congregate there, bad language and behaviour, and youngsters hanging around in cars with their stereos blasting out music. Also climbing onto the roofs of buildings, One of which I think was a public toilet. As Tourists, quite honestly we cant be bothered, we shall not be visiting or spending any more money at Brixham. The Police who turned up Once, didn't address the problem.

On arriving in Brixham you will see that there’s lots of coloured house’s on top of the hill’s, it’s a bit like Ireland & it’s a bit hilly. Brixham is a working port with a marina, & it’s not too faraway from where you get dropped off. Brixham is alive with the sounds, scents and tastes of the fishing industry. Here you will discover all the trimmings of luxury boating - Ships Chandler, Marina-side Pub/Restaurant/open-air cafés, & of course the boats themselves, of all shapes &sizes, mega-yachts & sailing dinghies sharing their berthing spaces in apparent harmony. Fishing boats chug into the harbour in combination with the mega yachts & motor ... Read the complete review

Brixham is a delightful little fishing town, situated in the English Riviera, that is Torbay, Devon. It is a town that I visited often as a child while staying at one of the local holiday camps, and is where my parents now call home. The local name for us tourists is "Grockles", this is a term, not exactly of endearment seeing, but should be seeing as how much we put into their local economy :-). * * * * * * * * * * * * * How to get there * * * * * * * * * * * * * By Train - - - - - - - The nearest mainline train station to Brixham is at Paington, which is about 5 miles away.

At present I live in Paignton, part of Torbay other wise known at the English Riviera. Although I have lived in other places in England I am only a stones though away from the very place I was born namely Brixham, which is also part of Torbay. I love to take a walk around there remembering how it was when I was a child and seeing how much has changed. Brixham is spread over a valley at the bottom of which is the town leading down to the harbour, it now has three inner harbour piers where the fishing boats tie up along side. The third one was only added about thirty years ago, I can remember ... Read the complete review

I wouldn't! I visited a couple of weekends ago - a lovely sunny spring day when most places should have looked their best. Not Brixham! It looked seedy, depressed and past it's sell-by date. Dog pooh, litter, boarded-up houses and shops, broken windows, grotty pubs and restaurants serving sixties style menus. And the ugliest car-park in the south west - or maybe you know of an uglier one? I know that the season hasn't started yet and most sea-side towns don't look their best in March. I realise too that Brixham is a working harbour, not a facsimile. Perhaps the population is sesonal, hence the ghost town look. I'm disappointed and sad! ... Read the complete review
