Brixham

Life in the busy Devon fishing town of Brixham has always centred around the harbour, where heritage trawlers jostle for space with dayboats heading out to sea for the day’s catch, bringing it home daily to Brixham’s famous Fish Market. Here, in the heart of England’s Seafood Coast, the freshest fish and most delicious seafood is on the menu everywhere. Brixham is the quintessential English harbour, with a colourful and vibrant feel all year round, making it as ideal for a summer holiday with the kids as it is for a romantic...

Dartmouth

With numerous festivals and events taking place throughout the year, as well as a great range of attractions and activities both in Dartmouth and nearby, and a rich maritime heritage, there is always something happening in this vibrant harbour town.

Broadsands

Nestled between the towns of Paignton and Brixham, Broadsands’ gently sloping gradient makes it a popular choice for families with children. This beach is a hidden gem and a great alternative to the busier main beaches of Torquay and Paignton offering the traditional seaside attractions. The surrounding idyllic rural landscape creates a relaxing feel and a sense of getting away from it all. The pretty pastel coloured beach huts and traditional seaside deck chairs truly enhance this tranquil and charming location.

Goodrington

Goodrington is one of the most popular beaches in South Devon, with both locals and holidaymakers drawn to the beautiful sandy beach and brightly coloured beach huts.

Youngsters and the young at heart will love the water adventure park at Splashdown Quaywest with its exciting flume rides and the daring Devil’s Drop attraction with a 15-metre vertical drop. Goodrington Sands is great for other water sport activities too and you can hire various water craft here.
