on the water
With the port being the focal point of Brixham there are plenty of things to do on or in the water - here are 10 of them!!
1) Go swimming! Many people swim off of Breakwater or Fishcombe Beaches however there is also a saltwater pool - Shoalstone Pool (https://shoalstonepool.com/) The pool is free and there is a new cafe opening above it (watch this space!). Please note that they are workinf super hard right now to repair the pool before the summer season starts.There is also a tiny sandy beach between Breakwater Beach and the outdoor pool which is only sandy at low tide but great for taking the kids or dog and going for a swim or making sand castles!
2) You can rent paddleboards/kayaks on Breakwater Beach ( https://brixhampaddleboards.simplybook.it/v2/ ) or on Broadsands Beach (https://www.broadsands-watersports.co.uk/)
3) Not strictly on the water but combine a sauna with cold water swimming experience (https://apatheiasauna.com/) - the mobile sauna comes to Brixham next to Shoalstone Pool and provides a very envigorating sauna/cold waer dip experience
4) Go dolphin watching (https://www.boatsafari.co.uk/) - these guys also do other types of boat trips - just check their website
5) get the ferry to Dartmouth (daytrip)https://www.westernladyferry.com
6) Get the ferry across the bay to Torquay https://www.westernladyferry.com/
7) Go sea fishing https://kellysherocharters.com
8) Buy a crab bucket and line and hang over the seawall to catch crabs (catch and release) - please get an ecofriendly line as the plastic ones that get lost get caught in the wildlife when all the tourists have gone home!
