Brixham Harbour - Brixham Harbour. Visit our Gallery.

Brixham Harbour is located on the southern aspect of Tor Bay and boasts one of the largest fishing fleets in the UK, plus a thriving fish market to support it.

Over 100 fishing boats land and sell their catch at the local Fish Market on the quayside.  A visitor viewing platform is strategically placed so visitors can watch the busy comings and goings of the fishing fleet, made up of large beam trawlers and the smaller day boats. Some of the smaller day boats can actually been seen working at various vantage points around Tor Bay i.e. Berry Head, Fishcombe and Hopes Nose.

Approached from the sea the view of Brixham with its many colourful houses cascading down on either side of the harbour is one of the prettiest along the South Devon coast. Brixham personifies the classic English fishing port, mixing tradition with a modern vibrant industry.

There is currently a huge regeneration project being considered for the future of the town and harbour, involving the possibility of a northern arm breakwater, development of reclaimed land, revitalising the central area and a review of the transport system.
