Set between Torquay and Brixham in the sheltered and beautiful waters of Torbay, Broadsands is a hidden gem in the heart of the English Riviera. This area gained its reputation as a place to see and be seen during the days of Queen Victoria when it was compared to the French and Italian Rivieras due to its sunny climate, breathtaking coastal views and long, safe sandy beaches. Broadsands Beach has also been awarded Blue Flag status. The South West Coastal Path sits on the doorstep, as well as easy access to woodland walks through to the prestigous Churston Golf Course and Elberry Cove shingle beach, home to the remains of Lord Churston's bathhouse, a romantic 18th century ruin.
