Brixham....

The Port of Brixham is situated in Torbay, South Devon. With a child friendly museum, boat trips, numerous walks, live music, many restaurants and theatre. Clean pebble beaches, diving, fishing and crabbing. It's quirky independent shops, harbourside cafes and convenient slipways, mean there’s plenty to keep visitors entertained, producing an abundance of photographic opportunities. The neighbouring town of Paignton offers a more commercialised list of activities with its amusements, pier and cinema along with Crazy Golf and large pebble beach. Totnes, Torquay, Dartmouth & Paignton are easily accessible from Brixham.
Part of Brixhams appeal is its quirky and unpredictable nature. Visit one of the many fishermans pubs, meet the friendly
locals and listen to their tales, explore the alleyways around the harbour and enjoy the views out to Paignton and
Torquay. Join in Pirate Thursdays throughout the summer, or maybe the Brixham Trawler Race.
