Shoalstone Beach

Find out about this beach including water quality, facilities, awards, safety and supervision.

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.

Shoalstone is a small shingle and rocky beach just along the coast from Brixham Harbour and breakwater. It is adjacent to Shoalstone Pool, which is Brixham's outdoor seawater swimming pool and is one of only a few left in the country.

At low tide rock pools are exposed which are great to explore and nearby is Berry Head National Nature Reserve Opens in a new window False.

There is easy access to the promenade surrounding the beach and pool, with a cafe and superb views across the bay.

For more information visit the Shoalstone Pool Opens in a new window False website.
