Torquay is a traditional yet vibrant seaside town set on Devon's English Riviera coast. With its iconic palm trees, busy harbour, international marina, sandy beach and wonderful array of continental style cafes, restaurants and cocktail bars, the scene is set for the perfect coastal holiday! The town is also part of the English Riviera's designated UNESCO Global Geopark. With its spectacular coastline and outstanding natural beauty, it's easy to see why.
There is so much to do in the area: visit the stunning beaches, discover secret coves and take boat trips to spot wildlife. As well as swimming and building sandcastles, you can also hire a paddleboard and take to the water. The harbour throngs with life and is the perfect setting for crabbing off the seawall, spotting impressive yachts or trying fresh seafood caught that morning. Torquay has brilliant year-round attractions too, including the spectacular underground caves at Kents Cavern, 800 year old Torre Abbey with its Agatha Christie-inspired Potent Plants Garden, Babbacombe Model Village, Bygones plus Open Top Sightseeing Buses and much more. Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust has a big programme of delightful events that run throughout the year so we'd recommend checking their calendar.
Explorers will love visiting the local area, such as Shaldon to the north and Paignton to the south. The renowned Paignton Zoo is just a 15-minute drive and provides a fantastic day out with the family.

With private parking in the gated basement, you won't have to worry about finding a spot for your stay. It's just a short 15 minute walk to Torquay Harbour and Meadfoot Beach, so it's easy to walk to all the best local amenities.
If you'd like explore further afield, a car is preferable. However, there is a local train station in Torquay which has regular services running to and from Exmouth and Paignton as well as London Paddington. It's a 30 minute walk to the apartment from the station, or you can pick up a cab outside.
