Churston Cove is a beach in Devon, England.

Churston Cove is an idyllic beach near Brixham, along the English Riviera. Adorned with shingle and rocks and set against a backdrop of spectacular wooded cliff-sides, it’s no wonder Churston Cove is such a popular destination. Those with yachts often drop anchor here so they can sit and enjoy the blissful view. Access to the beach is along a steep and narrow path which can be tricky for those with disabilities, but certainly not impossible. The path weaves through woodland and leads to crystal-clear waters, which are perfect for paddling and swimming – although there’s no lifeguard on duty; therefore children need to be closely monitored. Once you’ve finished making the most of Churston Cove, take the short drive to Fishcombe Road for some nearby parking and also the bustling town of Brixham, where you’ll find a selection of shops, pubs and restaurants specialising in mouth-watering seafood. Don’t forget to also explore nearby Paignton, accessible via the South West Coast Path.
