Pubs and bars in Babbacombe with a sea view

If you like to enjoy your pint of beer or glass of pinot grigio with a view, you’ll find some of the most spectacular that Torbay has to offer in Babbacombe. From the Babbacombe Downs you can see as far as Portland Bill in Dorset on a fine day, with stunning sea views stretching across Lyme Bay. There are several pubs perched right on the Downs, where you can enjoy these views with a drink in your hand. Try the Buccaneer Inn or The Babbacombe Inn, which both make the most of the views with indoor and outdoor seating areas. 

Located right on the water’s edge at Oddicombe Beach you’ll find Three Degrees West. This smart Bar-Bistro has a chilled out Balearic vibe. Sit out on the terrace to catch the suns rays or stay cosy inside behind the floor to ceiling glass doors and watch the waves crashing.

Sample the best local ales

The English Riviera has a strong reputation for delicious local produce and that includes our ale! Just along the road in Paignton, you’ll find Bays Brewery or head inland along the winding country lanes for Hunter’s Brewery at Ipplepen. These local brews and more of the Westcountry’s finest can also be found in our pubs and bars. The Buccaneer Inn on Babbacombe Downs is well known for serving award-winning ales and you’ll find a host of award winning local brews behind the bar at The Cary Arms.
