Brixham Holidays

The attractive fishing town of Brixham is located on the picturesque south coast of Devon in southwest England. Situated at the heart of Torbay, often referred to as the English Riviera, Brixham benefits from 22 miles of sandy coastline stretching in either direction from the centre of the town, making it an ideal holiday destination for UK beach holidays in the south of England. Well-known as an historic fishing port, the fishing industry in Brixham is still alive and thriving and the hundreds of small fishing boats that occupy the port add a uniquely traditional character and charm to the town.

 

With so many miles of golden coastline to enjoy while on holiday in Brixham, there is bound to be a beach holiday to suit everyone. A total of 20 beaches and coves can be found along the Torbay coast and Brixham is home to some of the most sheltered and secluded in the area, often located in rocky coves hidden amidst the rugged surrounding cliffs. Two miles north of Brixham is the aptly named Broadsands beach, a wide sandy beach with excellent facilities. Holiday accommodation in Brixham can be found in locally owned B&Bs and guesthouses throughout the town as well as an assortment of seaside hotels and holiday parks in the wider area. Holiday cottages and chalets provide comfortable accommodation for self-catering holidays in the UK and are often a price-effective option for family UK holidays in Devon.  

 

As well as all the pleasures of the beaches along the Torbay coast there are plenty of other attractions to enjoy while on holiday in Brixham. Cafes and restaurants along the seafront provide idyllic spots for relaxing in the town. Coastal walks and cycle paths are a popular way to discover the natural scenery and stunning landscapes around Brixham. Or why not hop on the Paignton and Dartmouth steam railway from Paignton for some spectacular views of the passing countryside. Across the bay in Torquay you will find the impressive Torquay zoo home to a vast array of marine wildlife. Torquay is also a pleasant town for a day trip while exploring the English Riviera on a UK holiday in Brixham.
