Highlights

Pier Point Torquay

Sea Views

Surrounded by 22 miles of spectacular coastline it is no surprise that Torbay is known as Devon’s Beautiful Bay with a fantastic selection of waterfront and seaview pubs and bars to enjoy serving a great selection of local beers and West Country ciders.

There really is nothing like sipping a cold pint or chilled glass of pinot grigio by the sea on a warm summer evening. Whatever your preferred tipple, and whatever the time of year, drinks just taste better when you're looking out over the English Riviera, South Devon's beautiful bay. So, grab your drink, pull up a seat and enjoy the view.

Pubs and bars with a sea view

In Torquay a number of pubs and bars nestle round the harbour including popular pit stops like Below Decks and Offshore. For those who like a stroll Torquay’s main palm fringed promenade leads to Pier Point Bar opposite Princess Pier and onto Abbey Sands a new and very popular development including: Bistrot Pierre, Visto Lounge, Las Iguanas and Coco Cocktails.

In Babbacombe a new beachside bar called Three Degrees West has opened on Oddicombe Beach with the option to take the Bababcombe Cliff Railway down to the terrace. Alternatively, you may like to visit the Cary Arms Pub or on the top of Bababcombe Downs, the Bababcombe Inn, which is a very popular pub with spectacular views across Lyme Bay.

In Paignton the Boathouse is a very popular sea view bar at Preston, as is Shoreline overlooking Paignton Beach or Harbour Inn overlooking Paignton Harbour. In Brixham you will be spoilt for choice of waterside pubs nestled around the quaint fishing harbour where alfresco drinking is very much part of life on the English Riviera.

Whether you’re looking for a convenient spot for some liquid refreshment as you walk the SW Coast Path or you make a deliberate pit stop here, you’ll want to linger a while at The Cary Arms in Babbacombe.

You’ll find a wide selection of local real ales alongside award winning food on offer, helping to make every visit to this inn truly memorable.
