A WORLD OF LEISURE ON YOUR DOORSTEP

There’s plenty of things to do for all ages in Brixham.

The fishing harbour is buzzing from first thing in the morning when the fish auctions are held, through to the evening when the seafood restaurants are filled with diners and sea shanties can be heard in the local hostelries. This is traditional England at its best. Just across the water, MDL’s Torquay Marina is within easy cruising distance, a great place to shop, explore and make the most of the nightlife.
