The tranquil scene is dotted with colorful beach huts, reminiscent of a simpler era. In the background, the elegant Coombe Martin Hotel, with its distinctive red-roofed facade, stands proudly overlooking the bay. The village, once a popular resort town for Victorian and Edwardian families, is known for its rich history.
