South Bay Holiday Park St Mary's Rd Brixham Tq5 9Qw
The caravans and lodges here are honestly ridiculously comfortable. You half-expect a little welcome note that reads, “We know you’re on holiday, so we made the sofa extra squishy.” They’re not those cramped boxes from 1985. We’re talking proper double-glazed windows, a kitchen that actually has enough mugs for everyone, and a shower that doesn’t turn into a trickle if someone flushes the loo.
I remember our first morning there. I opened the curtains, expecting a view of a car park, and instead got a full-on coastal panorama with seagulls doing aerial stunts. My kids immediately claimed the biggest bedroom, and I didn’t even argue because I was too busy staring out the window like a pirate who just found treasure.
Why the Location is a Secret Superpower
Now, the location on St Mary’s Road is the real MVP here. You are not stuck in the middle of nowhere, relying on a half-empty mini-market. You’re about a ten-minute walk from Brixham’s bustling harbour, which is basically the UK’s answer to a Mediterranean fishing village, but with more rain jackets and pasties.
It means you can decide at 10am, “Fancy a pasty?” and be holding a warm, flaky one by 10:12am. The path down to the harbour is steep, sure, but think of it as pre-dessert cardio. By the time you climb back up, you’ve earned that second ice cream. Trust me, the maths works out.
