Enjoy a 360 virtual tour of Shoalstone Beach & Pool a small beach and a 53m sea water swimming Pool on Brixham sea front, one of only a few left in the country. It is built into a natural rock pool that has been popular for bathing since Victorian times.
Update: 19th March 2021
- added more 360 images
The tide was out and the beach was empty so I finally had the chance to take some images on the beach. The beach here is very small and mostly surrounded with hard flat rocks. The small amount of sand there is was already full of people when I was there, so i’ll have to head back at some point after the tourist season is over with to get some decent shots.
