Things to do in Goodrington

You are just spoilt for choice if you come along to the glorious Goodrington! From picturesque walks, a boating lake, beautiful greens, steam trains and half a mile of beautiful sandy beaches, there is so much to see and do.

There are 4 activities by the Boating Lake- either hire giant swan pedalos to paddle round the lake, play on the go-karts, have a round of crazy golf at the 18 hole traditional course or if you are a keen model boat enthusiast, bring your favourite model and launch the boat on the lake.

If you prefer to be in the sea, exploring the beautiful coastline, you can hire watersports equipment from Reach Outdoors. The award winning company provide guided tours and lessons in Coasteering, Kayaking and Stand Up Paddle boarding. Or you can have a wild and wet time in the UK’s largest waterpark, Award winning ‘Splashdown Quaywest’, with its 8 exciting flume rides.

For the explorers, why not pop along to the Seashore Centre to learn more about the English Riviera’s sea-life, marine lift hidden in the rockpools and Geopark through interactive displays. Goodrington has a history that dates back more than 280 million years - before the first dinosaurs walked the earth! This wonderful heritage site plays an important part of the UNESCO accredited English Riviera Global Geopark.

The Gold Coast Amusement Arcade, with a mix of video games, pinball machines, electro-mechanical games, provides even more entertainment for the family.

Of course, if you simply prefer the sandy beaches, there is a wonderful half mile long stretch ready for you to build sandcastles or moats and pitch your deck chair and just relax. Part of the beach is dog friendly all year round with lots of space for your furry friends to run and swim and enjoy this beautiful place.

The nearby restaurant Cantina often has live music during the day and evenings. Cantina is a family run business offering a friendly and relaxed welcome, specialising in local fish and oven baked pizzas.

Excursions, Day Trips & Tours

The English Riviera is a designated UNESCO Global Geopark in South Devon. It is one of only eight in the UK and 140 in the world. A geopark is an area of globally recognised unique geological interest with fascinating landscape, coastlines and places.
Beaches

The South Devon coastline offers an ever-changing feast of sandy beaches, rocky outcrops, secluded coves, historic viaducts, elevated cliff tops, rockpools and wooded areas. And Devon’s famous English Riviera, a designated UNESCO Global Geopark, is the perfect base to experience it all.
On The Water

The English Riviera is set around a large horseshoe shaped bay and sheltered by the rolling hills of Dartmoor - both of which provides a warm microclimate, and safe, shallow waters. Our long sandy beaches, secluded coves and crystal clear waters create a mediterrean vibe, and mean that water-based activities are the favourite thing to do for both locals and visitors here in Devon's Beautiful Bay.
