A pretty little place although only accessible at certain tides as the water can completely engulf the Cove on spring highs. If you don't mind the smell of crab from the adjacent crab factory it can be a good little stop for rock pool discoveries at low tide. You can also access/walk around to Roundham head at the right times but always take the time to do your research as far as tide times and heights are concerned as the ocean takes no prisoners.Often very quiet which is always nice although summer holiday evenings teenagers will congregate here for a drink or 3 so unless your up for a bottle of white cider , crying girls and spoken profanities it's worth leaving this place alone during warm evenings during the...

Amazing Pub chain but so good. Taken to table with menus by very polite man. Food is basic pub grub but wait until you get it. Food and drinks arrived under 10 minutes. OMG gammon stakes 2 not 1 like most places was charcoal grilled soft and tasted like it was of a BBQ. You get both a egg and pinapple. House white wine is great don't ever change it. Best thing it was half price. Worse thing scampi starters smaller than a kids portion. Not impress there. But give it full stars for staff speed and that mouth...

A much smaller, but much quieter beach just around the corner from the main Paignton seafront.

BE WARNED! Beach can only be accessed by steps, either via a few small steps at the marina, or a much steeper and longer flight of steps from the car park.

Also, the beach isn't the best for sandcastles (quite gritty) or swimming (quite rocky, and lots of seaweed) but it is rather lovely to sit and relax.

Beach also seems a favourite of underage drinkers in the...

A hidden little gem! It was nice to find a quiet location away from the busier area nearby. There is plenty of parking in the nearby carpark and a short stroll to the cliff top and down the steps to the little cove. It's great to see somewhere that dogs can enjoy, too. Toilets are a short stroll around the harbour where you pay to use. Overall, It was worth the short stop to explore.

I love this place but the water quality here has deteriorated in the last 15 year significantly. I grew up snorkeling here it was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life, I would not risk it now. The night I took the attached photos there where large patches of floating plastic waste that had been washed into fairy cove I was horrified to see how bad things had gotten.

Lovely little hidden dog friendly beach. More pebbles and shingle than sand, and fairly small, but ideal for exploring with our dog. We struggled to find a nice dog friendly beach as most don't permit dogs after the 1st May ( our visit was mid May and the beaches were pretty quiet), so it seemed a real shame that we were unable to take our dog on the nicer, sandier beaches.
