Even as a local I enjoy a little stroll along the promenade, on a clear day you can spot the distant landmark of Portland Bill in Dorset. Unfortunately it wasn’t quite clear on the day I took this shot (will try again another day) It’s a great place to just chill and gaze out to sea. There are plenty of great pubs and cafes nearby if you get peckish, including the award winning Hanburys fish and chips. The Buccaneer is my favourite pub on the downs and Angels Cafe has to be one of the best cafes in the bay, as such you may need to book in advance.

If you’ve got time head down to the beaches, you can use the Babbacombe Cliff Railway (definitely on the way back up) it’s a great way to get down the cliff to Oddicombe Beach. If you walk a little further along using the boardwalk you’ll find Babbacombe Beach, here you can often spot dolphins and seals playing offshore.
