Coastal Escapes

Torquay’s coastline offers a diverse range of seaside environments, from the broad, wheelchair-accessible sandy shores of Torre Abbey Sands to secluded shingle inlets. The area includes Meadfoot Beach, set against high limestone cliffs, and the dog-friendly Beacon Cove. These locations provide a mix of developed waterfronts with promenades and quieter pebble beaches like Livermead and Institute Beach, reflecting the varied geological character of the English Riviera.
