My wife Garibaldi and I had a very pleasant walk along the coast path from Teignmouth to Oddicombe passing through wild meadows and the valley of the rocks witnessing peregrines and all sorts. Our final destination was Oddicombe and what an utter shocker of a place it is.

Upon reaching the bottom, we found we were at different end of it so we have to walk to find the sandy part of the beach which was a small walk. After 10 mins we all were at the sandy beach area and it was really misty (as you can see in the pictures) but weather wasn't cold or chilly so we stayed for two and half hours and everyone really enjoyed it. I got a chance to take some amazing pictures, by the way there are not filters applied to any images and the blue colour is the reflection of water...
