English (Translate this text in English): A highly recommended shore dive without the crowds found at Brixham breakwater beach but a bit more challenging due to the scramble over rocks and difficult entry and exit during a swell.

 Additional Information

English (Translate this text in English): Access to the water is down some concrete steps with hand rail to sea front, followed by a small step down onto the rocks. A careful scramble foreword where you may find a large flat-top rock which is ideal to sit on for final kitting up before entry. A reasonably short surface swim to desired depth which is about 8 - 10m depending on tide of course. Once down the sea bed is clean shingle with rocky outcrops an reef. The shingle is great as this results in very little disturbance and low back scatter, which is great for photography. Various types of weed and kelp are home to a great deal of small sea life.

There is some current that flows west to east when the tide is on it's way out and east to west when coming in. This is not too strong and can actually allow for a drift dive if you are prepared to walk west towards Brixham breakwater, past the pool and again enter the water over the rocks, then gently drift back towards the Shoalstone car park.

This part of the bay was raped by scallop trawlers in 2008 leaving nothing left even just a stone throw from the shore line! Thankfully the life is returning : )
