Hiking

Fairy Cove is a pretty little beach to the South of Paignton Sands, just over the Harbour wall, which is popular with families. Composed of red sand and shingle with red sandstone cliffs at the back; at low tide the beach is separated from the sea by flat rocks with interesting rock pools to explore.

Great little cove to walk to, very secluded and just past the harbour wall.
