Summary
Remote red sandstone cove near Teignmouth, RSPB reserve with rare cirl buntings.
About this location
Labrador Bay is a small cove and RSPB nature reserve on the south Devon coast between Torquay and Teignmouth, known for its population of cirl buntings and the distinctive red Devonian sandstone cliffs. The bay is reached via a coastal path from Shaldon and is largely inaccessible by road, giving it a remote quality despite its proximity to the English Riviera resort towns. The red rock coastal scenery and the clear South Devon light make Labrador Bay a sought-after location for productions needing a hidden Devon cove without the crowds of more accessible beaches. The RSPB manages wildlife interests and coordinates access.
The location offers broad scope for both wide landscape shooting and intimate coastal scenes. Natural light conditions vary significantly with the season and prevailing weather, giving location managers flexibility across different production requirements. Access and filming rights should be confirmed with the local authority or land manager before scheduling production days. The area has attracted increasing interest from location scouts working on features and series set along the British coastline.
