Brixham, Paignton & Torquay

Brixham – Brixham is situated at the southern end of Torbay and is one of the UK’s busiest fishing ports. The harbour is the central nervous system of this historic town and is where many of the boat trips depart, taking the tourists to explore the delights and allure of Brixham. Steeped in history and tales of pirates and smuggling, Brixham offers an abundance of nautical adventures.

Paignton – Long sandy beaches and an animated pier are the main reasons why families flock to Paignton each year. Great for water activities and packed full of bars, ice cream kiosks, beach shops and restaurants, Paignton is a hit with kids and adults alike.

Torquay - The coastal destination of Torquay, often referred to as the ‘Queen of the Riviera’ is the largest of the three towns situated along the 22 miles of stunning coastline that make up the English Riviera. The Mediterranean feel to the destination is enhanced by the palm-lined promenades and the bustling harbour side and marina that make Torquay a popular holiday destination.
