ZuluA pretty shingle beach with beautiful clear water. Sometimes spelt Elbury, this is a quiet beach with fantastic views.
It’s just a short walk from Broadsands car park beside the pitch & putt golf course along the coastal path to get down to the beach. This is a favourite among locals, especially dog walkers. If you plan on swimming then just be aware there is a water skiing lane, so please avoid this! In a corner of the beach are the remains of Lord Churstons bathhouse, an 18th century ruin, which looks out across Torbay.
Being quite a secluded beach, if your lucky you can often find yourself with the beach to yourself.
Shingle beach surrounded by woodland and fields, that lies between Brixham and Paignton in Devon and part of the South West Coastal path.
- It is important for its eelgrass beds, breeding grounds for native seahorses, as well as mussels that are farmed in the waters nearby.
- At its eastern end are the ruins of Elberry bathhouse, which was built for Lord Churston in the 18th century. Standing three stories high, with the ground floor being flooded when the tide rose, the lord could swim into the sea through a gated doorway, preserving his dignity. The buildings also held a “hot-bath” room where seawater was heated and pumped in.
