Sightseeing
Beautiful all year round, it’s our favourite local beach. Accessible via a steep road or you could take the Babbacombe Cliff Railway directly down the cliff edge. Oddicombe has beach huts to rent, a well stocked beach shop and a lovely café.
A little tip – at the top of the cliffs, Hanbury’s chip shop is the best around. Get a box of fish and chips and watch the sunset over the cliffs after your day at the beach
