nice view to the sea, The cafe looks a bit basic but you get tasty food here. The beach is rocks and gravel, there is no dog ban and probably you meet some friendly dogs playing in the sea (watched by their friendly owners)

Running

A short run down from the coast path brings you to Antsey's Cove. So close to Torquay but the peace and tranquility here is a million miles away.

The calm clear water is the perfect place for a mid run swim or paddle and there's even a beach side cafe for snacks.

Antsey's Cove supposedly played a part in the inspiration for Agatha Christie's 'Five LIttle Pigs'. The character Amyas was named after a man she had a picnic with here on the beach.
