Babbacombe Bay
Babbacombe Bay is a shallow, wide, north-south indentation into the south coast[1] of Devon,[2] England, in the United Kingdom, opening eastward into the English Channel[2] and about four to five statute miles (6.5 to 8 km) across its mouth. It is bounded by Hope's Nose and Torquay to the south and roughly the River Teign and Teignmouth to the north.[1]
