Oddicombe Beach from Babbacombe Downs

Oddicombe Beach is a popular beach, noted for its interesting Breccia cliffs, below the Babbacombe district of Torbay, Devon in England.

The beach includes many facilities which include a cafe, beach hut and deck chair hire, a beach shop, trampolines, motor boat hire, pedalo hire and kayak hire.

In February 2010 part if the cliffs at Oddicombe caved in, resulting in a large rockfall onto a part of the beach and into the sea. The sea subsequently wore away several rocks, staining the sea in the area and the beach pink for a number of weeks.
