About Heybrook Bay
Heybrook Bay is a small sheltered shore dive in South Devon with a rocky pebble beach, sandy patches, and kelp-lined gullies. It is a scenic site for relaxed diving and snorkeling when the weather has been settled, with beadlet anemones, wrasse, blennies, and crabs among the main sightings. After rougher conditions, the water can turn cloudy near shore as weed is stirred up.
