Meadfoot is a shingle beach nestled below an array of spectacular cliffs which provides a perfect setting for those who prefer a quieter environment in which to relax. From the beach you can see Thatcher Rock and Brixham on the opposite side of the Bay.
Meadfoot is a popular spot for diving and fishing and at low tide some great rock pools are exposed.
The impressive crescent-shaped Osbourne Hotel overlooks the beach and there is a split-level promenade which backs onto a tree-covered hillside with good access to the coastal paths.
"The shore and cliffs to the middle and east of Meadfoot Beach expose sandstones and slates which were
once sands and muds in a shallow tropical sea some 405 million years ago, during the early part of the
Devonian time period. These are some of the oldest rocks in Torbay, and are known as the ‘Meadfoot Group’, named after this bay!"
