The shops are mainly run by smaller independent retailers, many family owned, who will welcome your visit, take time to find out your needs and invite you in to browse at your leisure.
The shops provide a good variety of merchandise to cover mainstream needs as well as boasting a number of specialty shops, which are fascinating to visit whether you are looking for a gift of something a little different for yourself.
Shopping in Babbacombe Bay brings back some yester year values and affords something different to explore at every turn of the corner, providing the perfect setting in which to enjoy some retail therapy.
When you’ve purchased all your gifts to take back to family and friends, refuel with a proper Devon cream tea, complete with delicious, thick clotted cream and homemade strawberry jam. In summer you can sit al fresco and enjoy the stunning sea views, or in winter warm up by a cosy log fire in one of the many attractive pubs, cafés or restaurants.
