Cons:

• "The only downside is the public toilets. The toilets at breakwater beach cost 30p and are absolutely disgusting."
• "Very nice fishing town, the place to go for fresh fish and crab sandwiches! Also has a resident seal you can see following the fishing boats... And one of only two copies of the Golden Hide sail ship in the world!"
• "Brixham harbour is a good place to visit if in Torbay, busy fishing port lots of good places to eat and drink nice little shops lovely scenery boat trips etc the thing that really let's it down is the public lavatories it cost 30p no copper coins accepted but you can pay by bankers card, this is extortion pure and simple particularly if you are taking a family with you."
