Last-minute breaks in Devon

Three bustling seaside towns make up Torbay, also known as the English Riviera. Torquay, Paignton and Brixham each offer something unique, but it doesn't matter which town you stay in. If you decide to visit the Bay this year, you're sure to be greeted with a warm welcome!

Kick back and relax in Torquay

Welcome to Torquay, a traditional yet thriving seaside town set on Devon's English Riviera coast and the top trending UK holiday destination in 2021. If you haven't visited for a while, then banish those thoughts of a resort that has seen its hey day.... the best is yet to come. With its iconic palm trees, busy harbour, international marina, sandy beach and wonderful array of continental style cafes, restaurants and cocktail bars, the scene is set for the perfect Devon seaside holiday or short break.

Explore Paignton this year

One of the brightest jewels in the English Riviera’s crown, as you arrive in the seaside resort of Paignton, you are met with the welcoming sight of its long stretch of beautiful and easily accessible beachfront, promenade, traditional pier, colourful beach huts and green. What's great about Paignton is that it is a compact resort, with the seafront and town centre shops all within close proximity, making it an ideal Devon holiday resort for that relaxing breakaway.

Discover fresh seafood in Brixham

Life in the busy Devon fishing town of Brixham has always centred around the harbour, where heritage trawlers jostle for space with dayboats heading out to sea for the day’s catch, bringing it home daily to Brixham’s famous Fish Market. Here, in the heart of England’s Seafood Coast, the freshest fish and most delicious seafood is on the menu everywhere.
