Oddicombe Beach in Torquay is situated in the Babbacombe/St Marychurch area of the town - a couple of miles away from the town centre.

It's at the bottom of red sandstone cliffs - which the more energetic among us can walk up and down via steps.

However, there is also a cliff railway which takes you to the bottom and top of the cliffs.
