About

St Marychurch sits on the northern edge of the bay and keeps the layout of a traditional village around its parish church, which has medieval origins. A compact high street runs past shops, cafés and a village hall where local groups meet. Residential streets climb away from the centre toward open slopes and allotments, and a sequence of stone-built terraces and post-war housing shows how the place grew through the 19th and 20th centuries.

Maidencombe lies along the coast a short distance to the south and is centred on a small shingle cove reached by narrow lanes and the South West Coast Path. The cliffs here expose red sandstone beds and steps worn into the rock, and the cove is used by small local boats when the tide allows. Housing follows the valley down to the seafront, with holiday lets mixed among family homes, giving the area a quieter, largely residential character outside the summer months.
