PAIGNTON - A GENUINE GEM OF A RESORT!

Paignton is the second of our English Riviera choices.
This classic seaside town occupies the central part of Torbay.

Paignton is a wonderful, traditional, family-orientated seaside resort - with wide sandy beaches.
Unlike Torquay, Paignton is mostly built on level ground - so walking around here is nice n' easy!
Paignton is not as up-market and sophisticated as Torquay - instead it has a character of its own.

Brightly coloured terraced-houses line the esplanade like giant beach-huts.
Excited children squeal and splash about, waist deep, in the gently shelving sea.
People stroll along the pier in search of cream-teas and candy-floss.
Paignton is above all a family resort.

And Paignton has so much for families to do - come rain or shine!
