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.

St Mary’s Bay is a delightful secluded beach with interesting rock formations and surrounding cliffs. It is Brixham's largest beach and is made up of sand and shingle. Access to St Mary’s may be difficult but if you persevere you will find a delightful sandy stretch of beach at the bottom of the cliffs.

It is just off the South West Coast Path  Opens in a new window where you can find wonderful panoramic views of the area overlooking the beach and Berry Head National Nature Reserve  Opens in a new window is nearby.
