The English Riviera.

Situated in the heart of glorious South Devon, the English Riviera offers something for everyone, whatever their taste.

Torquay's waterfront is the focus of life in the town. Here you'll find the palm-lined promenade, seafront gardens, a lively harbour and an International Marina.

Along the 22 miles of English Riviera Coastline are 19 beaches and coves. Choose from wide open stretches of sand with beach facilities and water sports or visit one of the many smaller and more secluded coves.
