Whether you want to hunt for sand dollars or smell the fresh air, Goodrington Sands Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 0.8 mi (1.3 km) from central Paignton. Catch the sunset by the shore at Oyster Cove Beach, just a short walk away.
Notable for its seaside, Paignton features attractions such as Dartmouth Steam Railway and Paignton Beach. This beachside city has something for everyone including coffee shops and sights like Palace Theatre and Paignton Pier—all within a rural setting.
Paignton's lovely beech, shops, food outlets and pubs is a lively place. For the Air Show, on the green was the Fair, open air concerts with singers and groups. Right next door is Preston's beech, beautiful with little beech huts and it's own green

Paignton is a great place to stay to explore the wider South Devon countryside. The buses to Torquay/Brixham go every 10 minutes and go as far as Newton Abbot or Exeter. The train links are even quicker, and you take the steam train to Dartmouth

Like most seaside towns it has its noisy area, but thankfully we where away from that. Highly recommend the Harbour Inn & area to visit eat/ drink & the other bars, plus the coastal sea trip was relaxing & enjoyable couple of hours.

Paignton is a town of two halves. The beaches, promenades, harbour etc are all beautiful and offer amazing options for families or couples. The town itself is sadly in massive decline and is best to be avoided.

So much to do within 30 minute drive. Loved Cockington which was just up the road. The Pier has new machines on them, first in the UK, loved every minute
"Thank you for a wonderful 2 day stay at The
Mercure Hotel in Paignton, Devon. My husband and i stayed in a Classic Double room with a lovely big shower, they also provided towels, hair shampoo, shower gel all organic and great quality along with the hand soap. Our bed was amazing very comfortable, also great blackout curtains too. The windows don’t open in the room but the good news is you have great air con and heating at your fingertips. The Tv was 52” and fabulous with free view channels too. Hotel has 2 lifts and a fabulous outdoor balcony area. What i loved was in the evening while having a drink outside the waiter approached us (and every other table) to hand out lovely warm fleeces to wrap around you if feeling a bit chilly as our hotel wasn’t far across from the beach. I thought this was so lovely of them to do this. We did book for dinner on our first night (booking is advised), not a very extensive menu to choose from but quality was good, a little pricey on some dishes and noticed the same menu the next night. Plenty of places to eat near by but if you didn’t want to go out the hotel then you have options. Breakfast in the morning was nice you had your continental first, then your hot buffet stuff, sausages, bacon scrambled eggs ect… but a word of warning as we didn’t find this out until I’d plated up the hot food but if you wanted your eggs a different way like poached, fried ect you need to order them separately at the bar first. Staff all fabulous. Thanks again"
"Had a great short break in Paignton staying with Sarah and Paul at the Rowcroft Lodge.
The guest house is well located with a short walk to the town centre, including the Dartmouth Steam Railway station, and even shorter walk to the beach.
Sarah does a very nice freshly cooked breakfast and the room and bed very comfortable.
We were made very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
"First time away with my partner on holiday for one night, the rooms were wonderful, nice spacious area and comfy beds. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Just wished the check in was before 3pm but overall wonderful hotel to stay in for a night away or two. Definitely coming back again. "
"Breakfast was excellent. Bar meal was good but not great selection. Main Restaurant was too expensive. The room was great, very comfortable. the Seaview was obscured bey vegetation, but after some discussion, the gardener cut the offending vegetation back which mad the view perfect."
"Great hotel full of character. Excellent location .lovely staff , plenty of parking and the food is great to. Excellent central location to explore South Devon"
