Fishing trips can be
arranged from the harbour at Torquay, Paignton or Brixham. If you are lucky during the Summer months you may get to see Dolphins, Sun Fish or Basking Sharks.
Coastal or countryside, there is a
good range of walking and hiking in the area. If you take the coastal route, which forms part of the South West Peninsula Coast Path, you will walk one of the furthest of all the long
distance paths in England.
Torbay is also a tremendous area
for a variety of rock climbing with cliffs, sea stacks and the nearby National Park of Dartmoor providing its vast plateau of granite; These jutting rocks are known as tors.
Dartmoor provides some excellent
walks through rugged moorland. Streams meander through the moor and the wild heather grows abundantly.
Paignton is
approximately three miles from Torquay, which has lovely long sandy beaches and these provide safe swimming (however, care should always be taken and check for any warning flags). Paignton is
an ideal venue for the family with many attractions for everyone of all ages to enjoy.
