Britannia @ The Beach
Home to fantastic fresh, local seafood, ‘The Shack’ offers a combination of both takeaway and a unique rustic restaurant.

With its historic fishing connections and rustic appeal, the restaurant has become a much-loved landmark over the years. Directly opposite the shingle beach at Beesands, enjoy your seafood overlooking the water in which it was caught. Be sure to check this one out on Your Devon Escape.
