This moderately easy section of the South West Coast Path takes in spectacular views. It has gentle ascents and descents which make for relatively easy walking. The route between Berry Head and Sharkham Point was originally the way along which the coastguards regularly patrolled. Thus earning the name the Coastguard Walk.Starting at the car park with the fort to the left, follow the road which eventually branches off, leading out of the park. The route rises gradually around the back end of the bay and then leads to a short bridge which continues and will bring you to the entrance of Sharkham Point.Once you have explored the area, you can either head back or continue the circular route, which takes you through Brixham and back up to the starting point.
