Agatha Christie's favourite swim spot. This beautiful pebble beach is easily found with a short walk from Broadsands towards Brixham.
Beautiful little pebbled cove which is a short walk from Broadsands car park in Paignton. Popular with boats, paddle boarders & kayakers.
Located a 15 min drive from the property is Elberry Cove, a shingle beach, surrounded by woodlands and fields which is generally sheltered from the wind so is popular with water skiers. At its eastern end are the ruins of Elberry bathhouse which was built for Lord Churston in the 18th century. The cove features in one of Agatha Christie’s novels, The ABC Murders, as the setting of Sir Carmichael Clarke’s untimely death. Access is via a clearly defined path through parkland which leads from Broadsands Beach car park. SATNAV Postcode: TQ46HX

This is a stunningly beautiful pebbly beach surrounded by woodland. There is no car access, so it requires a walk through the woods to get there. All the same, in peak season you will always find people and boats at this beach. In spite of its proximity to nearby towns, it feels wild when you get there, and on a sunny day you can be forgiven for thinking you are on a Greek island. Lovely place for a swim, although a word of warning: the pebbles can get rather hot to the touch of your feet during sunny summer spells unless you have galoshes when you walk down to the water!

Close to Paignton is Elberry Cove, a small inlet with a small pebble beach. Far from the bustle of the main beaches, so you can relax without being disturbed by noisy crowds or amusement arcades. This is the designated beach for water skiing, so no swimming in the ski lane. The beach can only be accessed on foot, so if you have the car with you, park at Broadsands and take a stroll along the coastal path. The scenery at Elberry Cove is beautiful; it’s framed by wooded hillsides and the sea is crystal clear and safe to swim in. At one end of the beach you’ll find the remains of Lord Churston’s bathhouse, a romantic 18th century ruin. The building was once three storeys, with a thatched roof and a ground floor that would flood when the tide came in. This meant that Lord Churston and his guests could swim straight out into the sea through a gated doorway. The building also boasted an early version of a hot tub, with a fire heating up the seawater to warm swimmers after their dip. Elberry Cove was one of Agatha Christie’s favourite bathing spots. Her holiday home at Greenway is not far away, and the cove even features in one of her novels, The ABC Murders, as the setting of Sir Carmichael Clarke’s untimely death. You'll find Elberry Cove on the Agatha Christie Literary Trail.
