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

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 ...

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.

Brixham is one of the seaside resorts that forms the English Riviera of Torbay, Devon. Easily accessible via the M5 which takes you as far as Exeter, Brixham combines a small essentially English harbour town with the facilities and amenities that make it appealing to all types of visitors. The seafront is a mixture of tourist shops, pubs and restaurants set around the picturesque harbour, overlooked by a patchwork of pastel coloured terraced houses on the surrounding cliffs. The harbour itself combines the tourist attractions of the replica of Drakes Golden Hinde and the working trappings of a fishing community. Beyond the inner harbour is a large marina and a sea wall ...
