We understand the importance of assistance dogs. They support their owners' daily activities and well-being. We have a commitment to accessibility. Working/assistance dogs are permitted on all Torbay beaches, all year round.

We want everyone to have a comfortable experience on the beach. We kindly request that all assistance dogs are clearly identified as such with a vest or harness. This helps to inform other beachgoers. They will then understand why the dog is on the beach and welcome it.

Elberry Cove is a pretty shingle beach with beautiful clear water which can only be reached by foot along the South West Coast Path  Opens in a new window from Broadsands or Brixham. This is a beautiful sheltered beach surrounded by wooded hillsides in an idyllic rural setting.

It is very popular with water ski boats and at one end of the beach you’ll find the romantic ruins of Lord Churston’s bath house. There is also pitch and put golf nearby.

Elberry Cove was one of Agatha Christie’s favourite bathing spots and the cove features in one of her novels.
