Beaches near Paignton

Families have been flocking to Paignton for generations to enjoy a traditional English seaside resort. Much loved by the Victorians, the pleasures of Paignton have changed little – sand castle building, picnics on the beach and a dip in the sea. Paignton Zoo has a world-wide reputation for its conservational aims and offers an excellent day out for animal lovers; state-of-the-art enclosures afford the animals greater freedom to exhibit natural behaviour, which in turn makes for an exciting display for visitors.

Hollicombe Beach
High red sandstone cliffs shelter this beach making it a real suntrap and good escape from the bustle of Torquay. However, the soft sandstone cliffs can be unstable, so the beach is sometimes closed due to landslips.
