YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Brixham
Watch the harbour
Spend time around the public harbour front and look at the fishing boats from the visitor areas. A meal by the water or a slow wander through the adjoining streets can be the main event, without needing to book a boat trip.
Berry Head
Berry Head National Nature Reserve brings together coastal views, a lighthouse and Napoleonic fortifications. Follow the reserve's marked paths and wildlife guidance. Its exposed headland setting deserves suitable clothing even when the harbour feels sheltered, and sightings of birds or marine animals cannot be guaranteed.
Brixham Heritage Museum
The museum in the old police station on New Road explores local fishing, geology and the town's social history. Its collections make a useful introduction to Brixham before you explore further. Use the museum's current opening days when choosing an indoor outing.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Middle Street has independent shops and cafés, giving you a reason to explore behind the harbour. Look for local food to take back to your holiday home, and keep a separate evening free if a seafood meal is part of your plans.
Planning your holiday in Brixham
A ferry across the bay can be an outing in itself, but sailing conditions and the last return affect the day. Keep a land-based return option in mind rather than making a booked dinner depend on an unconfirmed crossing.
Choosing where to stay
Compare the accommodation's entrance with Brixham centre and Berry Head. A park that suits walkers on the edge of town may give you a different shopping and evening routine from a location chosen mainly for harbour visits.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
