Brixham-based illustrators Lynette Jordan and Jim Dare share their favourite South Devon places. Compiled by Nicola Smith

THE LIFEBOAT STATION
Brixham

‘We walk here with our dog, Olive, who gets excited about going to the slipway as she likes to chase rocks down there. It has to be kept clear for emergencies, so we keep biscuits in our pockets for any hairy evacuations’ (torbaylifeboat.co.uk).

NICK’S FISH BAR
The Strand, Brixham

‘They do fantastic fish and chips here and we often sit and eat them in the harbour’ (01803 853357).

BREAKWATER BISTRO
Brixham

‘It’s right on the beach and the whitebait is amazing’ (breakwaterbistro.co.uk).

BLACKPOOL SANDS
Dartmouth

‘It’s a sheltered shingle beach with rolling hills behind. It’s never too busy’ (blackpoolsands.co.uk).

CAFÉ ALF RESCO
Dartmouth

‘They do the best banana porridge and the atmosphere is fantastic. There is often live jazz playing’ (cafealfresco.co.uk).

THE BAY COFFEE COMPANY
Brixham

‘We often stop here on our way to work for a coffee – and cake. We know all the regulars, and they do the best flat white here’ (thebaycoffeecompany.co.uk).
