Babbacombe Beach is a beach in Devon, England.

Head to the east of Torquay and you’ll find a totally different world to the hustle and bustle of the marinas. At Babbacombe beach, a tranquil little crescent of sand and shingle is backed by wooded cliffs and cosy 1930s villas, making it a beautiful spot to visit. If fishing is your thing, the breakwater is perfect for casting a line. We also gotta give props to this beach being a popular spot for scuba diving – plus, its sheltered and easy sea bed make it ideal for beginners. And if the cliffs seem a bit daunting simply jump on the Babbacombe Cliff Railway to save your legs and enjoy the stunning views of the bay from 300ft cliffs.
