Fairy Cove

True to its magical name, Fairy Cove near Paignton is a tiny, almost secret beach that captures the imagination with its fairy-tale setting. This intimate pebble cove, reached by scrambling down through coastal vegetation, offers crystal-clear waters and a sense of complete seclusion that's increasingly rare on Devon's popular coastline. The lack of facilities and difficult access means only the most determined beach lovers find their way here, creating an exclusive atmosphere where the only sounds are lapping waves and seabirds calling from the surrounding cliffs.
