Maidencombe is a little, secluded beach on the way out of the English Riviera, towards the neighbouring village of Shaldon. It is within easy reach of Torquay and just a few miles north of Babbacombe. The beach is accessible from the South West coast path with a narrow path and set of steep steps leading down to this secluded getaway. From the top of the path there are far reaching views of the rugged red earthed coastline, showcasing some of South Devon’s finest landscape. This sandy beach is surrounded by deep red sandstone cliffs providing shelter from the elements. Low tide exposes lots of interesting little rock pools where the opportunities for 'crabbing' are endless, don't forget to bring your nets along! The beach has received the Quality Coast Award due to the excellent water quality and it’s safe swimming conditions making it a perfect choice for families and keen swimmers. On foot you can easily head back up the road towards the picturesque village of Maidencombe and take in the quaint little thatched cottages. A visit isn’t complete without sampling the delights on offer at the 17th century family run pub, The Thatched Tavern. This dog friendly, traditional Devon country favourite has a picturesque beer garden, bar and restaurant serving free range, organic and specialist ingredients using seasonally sourced produce from local businesses. A delightful way to complete your day at the seaside.
