Sharkham Point, Protected coastal point in Brixham, England.
The limestone cliffs of Sharkham Point extend into the English Channel, forming a natural boundary between St Mary's Bay and the Devon coastline.
Between 1790 and 1930, Sharkham Point contained multiple iron mining operations, with several tunnels still present beneath the surface today.
The point forms part of the South West Coast Path, where local fishermen established traditional navigation routes for their daily maritime activities.
Visitors can access Sharkham Point through marked trails from Brixham, with the geological site offering opportunities for fossil observation along the shore.
The Middle Devonian shales at Sharkham Point contain preserved marine specimens that date back millions of years, documenting ancient ocean life.
