Things to Do
Paignton Pier
Paignton Pier first opened to the public in 1879 and has seen many changes over the years. Set at the centre of one of The English Riviera's best beaches, within an easy level walk to the town centre, station and buses, the Pier has plenty of parking nearby. A great "All Weather" family attraction...
Paignton
If it’s sun, sand and excitement you seek then head to Paignton, for all the ingredients of a great holiday.
World-class attractions
Paignton Zoo is a perfect day out for the whole family. With over 3000 animals from across the globe, it’s also dedicated to conservation and preserving our natural heritage. Kids will also love Splashdown @ Quaywest Waterpark with eight fantastic outdoor waterslides, for kids of all ages, as well as a number of swimming pools.
Grown ups can get out on the ocean waves with boat and fishing trips available from the harbour side. If the kids still have some excess energy left, then a trip to Torbay Quad Centre should keep any budding petrol-heads happy, while your own little Tiger Woods can tee off at the Junior Brown’s UV Crazy Golf range.
A little more sedate but no less fun, a trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway lets you experience the beautiful countryside around the English Riviera or you can get closer to the local wildlife with a visit to Occombe Farm and Nature Trail.
The perfect staycation, at any time of year
Paignton has award-winning beaches that are amongst the very best in Britain while Paignton Pier is overflowing with things to do, from crazy golf and candy floss stalls to the amusement arcade, shooting gallery and bouncy castle.
If you’re looking for an affordable holiday with plenty to do then visit Paignton at the heart of the English Riviera, South Devon’s beautiful bay.
