Summer Breaks Devon - Summer Breaks English Riviera

You don’t need to travel abroad to find sun, sand and surf. It’s a lot less stressful and much easier on the pocket to visit the English Riviera, South Devon’s beautiful bay. Take a break here in the summer months and you’ll find golden stretches of sand, a great choice of places to eat and drink, and plenty to see and do. It’s like the Med, but a whole lot closer to home.

Life’s a Beach

If your idea of summer heaven is relaxing on a beach, then the English Riviera is for you. Many of our stunning beaches hold prestigious Blue Flag status in recognition of their cleanliness and safety. With gently sloping shores, a treasure trove of rock pools and regular lifeguard patrols, these beaches are perfect for families with young children.

And if you’re looking for some watersports action you’ll find that too. Watch the professionals powerboat racing in the Bay. Or have a go at water skiing, jet skiing and fly boarding to name a few.

Make our Global Geopark your holiday playground

The English Riviera has also been awarded Global Geopark status, supported by UNESCO, in recognition of its diverse geological importance. The summer allows holidaymakers the chance to really get to explore the countryside and all it has to offer through the Geopark’s Discovery Packages. There are a number of family packages on offer, including the tasty Mussels by Moonlight boat trip.

Events

In the summer, the English Riviera is home to a number of special events and festivals. There are almost always boats to watch on the horizon, but if you visit during Brixham Regatta or Torbay Royal Regatta weeks you’ll be treated to a real sailing spectacle. Each year, Torbay also hosts an Air Show, with displays from the awe-inspiring Red Arrows. And you’ll also find classic fun fair entertainment in Paignton and Torquay, where you can ride the Waltzer or hook-a-duck during the balmy summer evenings.
