Shoalstone Seawater Pool (open May-September) — Attraction in Brixham

Unfortunately only stayed in the water for 10mins as it was full of Jellyfish!

Visited on a weekday during the UK school summer holidays and some how managed to get the whole pool to ourselves for at least 20 minutes. Staff friendly.
