Babbacombe Beach
Babbacombe is a beautifully unspoilt pebble cove tucked beneath dramatic cliffs to the north of Torquay, where you can anchor off and take the dinghy ashore to explore rock pools, cliff walks, and a remarkably peaceful stretch of coastline. It's popular with divers, anglers, and families, so there's always something to watch — and the views back out to sea are well worth the trip.
