Opening Times

Open All Year
Meadfoot Beach (01/01/2011 - 01/01/2015)

A mile from Torquay harbour and in a stunning location at the bottom of a row of imposing cliffs is Meadfoot Beach. Grab a deckchair and enjoy the sound of the sea lapping against the shore, or wander along the split-level promenade lined with a colourful row of beach huts.

Above Meadfoot Beach is the iconic Osborne Hotel. This distinctive, crescent shaped building is an impressive sight, and inside visitors are treated to luxurious elegance and exceptional quality at affordable prices. For a real treat, why not have lunch on the terrace? You’ll enjoy excellent food and magnificent views across the beach.

If keeping active is more your thing, then Meadfoot Beach is a popular spot for diving and fishing, while the South West Coastal Path lies at the top of the hillside. There are some fantastic walks on offer for people of all ages and abilities.

The Agatha Christie Mile

Close to Meadfoot Beach is the Agatha Christie Mile. Stretching along Torquay’s seafront, you can follow in the footsteps of South Devon’s most famous daughter. See where the Queen of Crime used to swim and dance, discover the hotel where she spent her first honeymoon, and learn more about her life and times in Torquay Museum.

With 3.3million visitors every year, the English Riviera is South Devon’s beautiful bay and one of the most popular holiday destinations in the country. With over 20 spectacular beaches, clean and calm waters and lots of attractions, it’s the perfect seaside destination
