Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to celebrate love, and there’s no better place to do it than in the picturesque coastal town of Brixham. With its charming harbour, dramatic coastline, and cosy eateries, Brixham offers plenty of romantic opportunities for couples looking to make the day truly special.
Sunset Spots
Few things set the mood like a sunset over the sea, and Brixham has some of the best spots for catching those magical colours. Berry Head offers panoramic views of the coastline and the English Channel, perfect for a quiet moment together or a memorable photo. For a more intimate stroll, the harbour breakwater is ideal. Hand in hand, you can watch the sun dip below the horizon while listening to the gentle lapping of the waves.
Date-Night Restaurants
After a scenic walk, indulge in some of Brixham’s culinary delights. For a romantic dinner, cosy seafood restaurants are offering fresh local catches, from buttery scallops to perfectly grilled fish. Many establishments also have a warm, candle-lit atmosphere that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day.
We highly recommend The New Quay Inn for a more relaxed and intimate setting. Or book a table at Olive for a more unique food and wine experience that will not disappoint!
Coastal Strolls
The South West Coast Path passes through stunning cliffside scenery and sheltered coves, providing plenty of spots to pause, take in the views, and enjoy each other’s company. Even a short walk along the harbour can be charming –watch the fishing boats, explore boutique shops, or soak in the lively seaside atmosphere.
Unique Gift Ideas
Looking for something thoughtful to mark the occasion? Brixham has a selection of independent shops and artisanal stores where you can find handcrafted jewellery, local art, or gourmet treats.
We suggest visiting The Colours of Brixham Gallery for local art, celebrating the rich beauty and character of the town through a variety of mediums. It’s run by three sisters, Janet Bolland, Elaine Cavicchia, Lynne Peets and their ‘adopted sister,’ Vivienne Bryant.
You could pair your gift with a box of chocolates or a bottle of locally produced wine from the Wine Loft for an extra touch.
Whether it’s watching a spectacular sunset, sharing a delicious meal, or wandering along the coast, Brixham has something for every couple. With its combination of natural beauty, cosy dining, and charming local shops, it’s easy to create a Valentine’s Day filled with unforgettable memories. Don’t forget to book your romantic stay with us this month, to make it the most unforgettable Valentine’s yet!
