About

Close to the mouth of Brixham harbour is Breakwater Beach, one of the cleanest beaches on the English Riviera. Not only is it a Blue Flag beach, but it has a Combined Seaside (resort) Award and has been recommended by the Good Beach Guide. There’s disabled access with adjoining parking facilities, meaning everyone can enjoy it.

Breakwater Beach is a particular favourite for scuba diving. There are a number of dive schools throughout the area, and with some of the warmest and calmest waters in the country, this is the place to learn to scuba and get your open water certificate. Expect to see rare seagrass beds, seahorses, fish and even the odd shipwreck.
