Torquay's waterfront is the focus
of life in the Town. Here you'll find the palm lined promenade,
a lively harbour and an international marina. Yet within minutes of the
town centre there are beautiful beaches easily accessible on foot, by
car or by bus. Torquay has all the facilities of a modern resort with
the style and elegance of a time gone by. No wonder its popularity has
never waned.
Beach life in Torquay is always close at hand. A string
of nine beautiful beaches and coves stretch out along the palm lined coast,
only minutes from the resort centre. Our high standards of water quality
and beach facilities mean that many carry coveted awards, including no
less than three European Blue Flags - more than any other resort in the
UK! So, whether you're looking for peace and quiet or fun and games, the
perfect spot is never far away!
