Paignton Sands

Paignton Beach offers the ultimate family day out at the seaside. With a sandy beach, safe swimming and a whole host of activities to enjoy, this promises to be a fun day out for all the family. It has been awarded Blue Flag status and also has a Quality Coast Award, so you know it’s clean and safe for the kids. There’s also lots to do; you can hire a pedalo, take a fishing trip from the nearby harbour or simply sit back and relax in a deckchair.

Fun and frolics at the seaside

In the middle of the beach sits the world famous Paignton Pier, so if you’ve had enough sunbathing or you’ve built enough sandcastles, why not head here see what all the fuss is about? You’ll find kiosks, cafés and an abundance of amusement arcades to keep kids of all ages happy.

Behind the beach is Paignton Green, a great place for a kick-about or a game of cricket. During the summer months the Green also holds lots of family friendly events including a week-long carnival. The busy town of Paignton is great for a bit of shopping, indulging in a Devon cream tea or a visit to nearby Paignton Zoo.

If you’re looking for the classic seaside resort, then Paignton Beach is for you. With sun, sea and sand, it’s got amusements, amenities and accommodation. And above all, it’s affordable! For a holiday your family will treasure forever, visit the English Riviera, South Devon’s beautiful bay.
