The seafront of Paignton offers a host of attractions for guests staying at Benbows Guesthouse.
Paignton has five great beaches including Goodrington Sands where you’ll also find the UK’s only outdoor waterpark and a great selection of activities.
Paignton’s beaches are the best in the Torbay area. For those with young families, there’s nothing finer than arming yourself with a bucket and spade and decamping there for the day.
Paignton’s gently shelving sands, multi-coloured beach huts, backed by a broad swathe of lawn and general flatness, make it ideal for young families.
Paignton Pier is set at the centre of one of the English Riviera’s best beaches, with many attractions on the open deck and inside, plus magnificent views of Tor Bay.
Splashdown Quaywest is situated on the beach at Goodrington Sands and includes 8 slides & flumes, swimming pool and children’s toddler play areas.
Visit Paignton Zoo, one of Britain’s top zoos, set in 75 acres of naturalistic landscaped grounds with plenty of trees and water. Home to many amazing species, including rhino, elephant, giraffe, orangutans, gorillas, lions, tigers.
Experience the elegance of Oldway Mansion, the distinctive architecture of Palace Avenue or take a walk along the green coastline of Elberry Cove.
Paignton’s Queen’s Park train station is also the terminus of the The Dartmouth Steam Railway, which connects with Goodrington Sands beach before following the Dart to Kingswear. The Dartmouth Steam Railway trains travel seven miles along the most spectacular South Devon coast down into the Dart Valley, a designated area of outstanding beauty. You could make a day of it by taking the ferry from Kingswear to Dartmouth, then taking a riverboat up the Dart to Totnes, from where you can take any bus back to Paignton – a Round Robin ticket lets you do this.
Occombe Farm is an organic farm on the edge of Paignton. It has an award-winning farm shop and cafe featuring the best of local food and drink, an easy-access nature trail, and an education centre.
During the summer months you will find the area hosts many festivals and fairs, in addition to the many events which are held on the green.
