Brixham Marina Visitor Guide

Brixham Marina is situated in the heart of this picturesque old Devon town. Sheltered from the south-westerly winds and offering safe access in all weathers and at all states of the tide, the 500 berth marina is always busy, especially in summer when many cruising rallies and boating events take place.There is a wide range of marine tenants on site including a yacht and powerboat brokerage, yacht charter and a sea school. Basic provisions and diesel are available and there is a bar and restaurant, ideal for when you've worked up an appetite out on the water and fancy a relaxing drink with friends. Torbay itself has several beautiful anchorages and there are many fine restaurants to visit both in Brixham and Torbay across the bay, where we also have a marina. To the west is the River Dart and further on... more about Brixham Marina...

Brixham and Torbay

Brixham is at the southern end of Torbay, across the sheltered bay from Torquay, and is a fishing port. Brixham is home to one of England and Wales most successful fishing fleets and regularly lands more value than any UK port outside of Scotland. The town is hilly, and built around the harbour which remains in use as a dock for fishing trawlers; in addition, it has a focal tourist attraction in the replica of Sir Francis Drake's ship the Golden Hind that is permanently moored there. To the south of Brixham, and sheltering the southern side of its harbour, lies the coastal headland of Berry Head with a lighthouse, Iron Age Fort and National Nature Reserve. Battery Gardens have a military history leading back to the Napoleonic wars and the time of the Spanish Armada. The emplacements and features seen here today are those of the Second World War... more about Brixham and Torbay...
