Your Stay at Harbour Lights: A Guest’s Guide to Brixham

Welcome to Harbour Lights! We are delighted to have you here. Our apartments sit beside Brixham Marina on the South West Coast Path. From your window, you can enjoy spectacular views across Torbay. You might even spot the Jurassic coast on a clear day.

We offer cosy studios and spacious two-bedroom apartments. This handsome Victorian house is your perfect home-from-home. Meanwhile, you will find everything you need within walking distance.

Start with the harbour. Brixham’s vibrant harbourside is just steps away. You will find restaurants, cafes, and independent shops here. The Blue Flag Breakwater Beach is also a short stroll from your door. Afterwards, you can explore Berry Head Country Park with ease.

Fresh from the Sea

Brixham is one of the UK’s most important fishing ports. Consequently, we land some of the freshest catch in the country. Rockfish sits right on the fish quay. You can watch the day’s catch land while you enjoy sustainable fish and chips.

For a more intimate meal, try Beamers Restaurant. Chef Simone has run this local institution for over 20 years. He serves seafood straight from the market. He also offers Westcountry steaks and homemade vegetarian dishes.

For a quick takeaway, you have excellent choices. Simply Fish serves classic fish and chips with generous portions. Alternatively, visit the Brixham Fish Restaurant and Takeaway. For a true taste of Devon, we recommend trying the locally caught hake.

Days Out on the Water

WeFerry operates just minutes from Harbour Lights. They offer a range of boat trips. For example, you can try mackerel fishing with all equipment provided. You can also join a Sea Safari to spot dolphins and seals. Equally popular is the Fish & Chips Sunset Cruise – a magical evening on the water.

For a hands-on sailing experience, consider the Pilgrim of Brixham. This historic vessel invites you to help hoist the sails. You can even take the helm if you wish. No previous experience is necessary. Just bring your sense of adventure.

Discover Local History

The Golden Hind is moored right in the harbour. This full-sized replica recreates Sir Francis Drake’s famous galleon. You can explore all five decks. Children will love the treasure hunt. Afterwards, visit the Brixham Heritage Museum on Bolton Cross. It tells the town’s story from prehistoric times to World War II.

Meanwhile, the Brixham Battery offers restored World War II gun emplacements. You will find this at Battery Gardens. The site also provides panoramic views across Tor Bay.

Get Back to Nature

Berry Head National Nature Reserve is a short walk away. It is home to rare bird colonies. You will also find a Napoleonic Fort and an iconic lighthouse here. Stop for refreshments at the award-winning Guardhouse Cafe. Their Sri Lankan fish curry is a guest favourite.

The South West Coast Path runs directly past Harbour Lights. So you can set off for Fishcombe Cove or the lighthouse easily. For a unique experience, book a Seaweed Foraging Course. You will learn to identify edible seaweed and cook it into delicious dishes.

Beaches and Swimming

Breakwater Beach offers gentle swimming and rock pooling. For a quieter escape, head to Fishcombe Cove. This sheltered spot is often much less crowded. Finally, visit the Shoalstone Seawater Pool. It is one of the last remaining lidos in the country. The pool opens seasonally from May to September. You can enjoy a refreshing swim with incredible bay views.

We hope this guide helps you make the most of your stay. From your stylish apartment at Harbour Lights, you are perfectly placed to experience the very best of Brixham. Enjoy every moment!
