Riding in popularity rapidly over the last few years, wild swimming is sure to get the blood pumping. With a landscape as rich and varied as that in South Devon, there is a host of rivers, open sea and secluded coves for you to explore. Here in Brixham, our holiday park in South Devon is just 150 yards from the beach so you can hope in and return to your accommodation to warm up in no time.
Looking for somewhere a little more secluded? Man Sands is nestled between Brixham and Kingswear and is one of the lesser known beaches for wild swimming. The water here is relatively shallow but ripe tides are powerful here so please be careful! Head to Man sands via the South West Coastal path and breath in the dramatic views on the way to your wild swim.
