You’ll find handy beach kiosks serving snacks right beside the beaches, including Preston Beach and Broadsands. If you’re still at Goodrington Beach at the end of the day, give The View at Goodrington a try.

If you love seafood, you’ll love the freshness of fish and shellfish landed just across Torbay in Brixham.

Vintage-style high tea

Paignton enjoys a real vintage vibe. Hop on board the Dartmouth Steam Railway at the station in the town. You can continue the vintage theme with afternoon tea at Paignton’s Cupcake Café. This boutique café offers a fine selection of homemade cakes and scones in cosy surroundings.
