Lovely to walk along the sea front. The gardens are clean and beautifully kept. We could see the remains of the house which recently 'fell off the cliff' a little way east of the funicular railway. Wish we'd had more time to enjoy Babbacome, but we did go to the theatre!

Lovely . We travelled with our disabled daughter who loved the lift. Disabled and carers are free so it was only £1.95 for a return trip. Staff really friendly.

Babbacombe has plenty of varied shops and cafes and pubs the downs and cliff tops give a wonderful view over the sea. But if you struggle with walking don't attempt to go down the hill road to the pier cos youll never get back up unaded.

Great location, relatively flat, but plenty to do. We chose this area as we wanted a quieter location - but within easy distance of Torquay & the harbour. A great choice of accommodation - The Downs Babbacombe - we can see why they have been awarded a 4 star silver & breakfast award!. And such great views over Lyme Bay... More

We visited this beach on 29th April. It seemed ok until we were nagged twice by the man who works at the visitor centre telling us that the dog should be on his lead. All of the signs indicated that the dogs-on-leads season starts on May 1st (as many beaches in the area). He was adamant. We left, so actually... More
