Torquay features a special continental flair with a real Riviera café culture, glitzy marina, top attractions, lively nightlife and specialist shopping. Much of the west country, including Plymouth, Exeter, Dartmouth and Dartmoor, is well within reach making Torquay an ideal place to experience this region.
The main pull of the town is the beach and if you're going to head here, you're missing out if you don't try wind surfing or the increasingly popular kite-buggying.
