Babbacombe Bay

Babbacombe Bay is a South-East Devon shallow, wide, continuation of the main sweep of Lyme Bay which, in turn, to the east is the western end of the Jurassic Coast (mainly in Dorset) in England, UK. It faces east towards the parent, notably large bay of the English Channel, weakly sheltered from large tides from the east but much so from Atlantic tides, currents and storms from the west. As a sub-bay it covers about 7.2 km (4.5 mi). It is bounded by: Hope's Nose the east end of the steep and jagged northern edge of Torquay, as the bay's southern tip; with no prominence bar a short, east-reaching, harbour wall at Teignmouth to the immediate north, the River Teign.
