Details

Torbay MCZ is an inshore site located in the south west of the UK. The site covers an area of coastline in South Devon between Oddicombe Beach and Sharkham Point, protecting a total area of approximately 20 km². Beginning at the coastline, the boundary extends between 1 to 2.5km out to sea and includes Hope’s Nose near Torquay and Berry Head near Brixham.

January 2016: A new feature has been added to this site. This is because we have new evidence to support their designation.

May 2019: Two new features have been added to this site. This is because we have new evidence to support their designation.
