Beaches in and around Paignton

Paignton's main beach, running out to the town's Victorian pier — the hub of the wider Torquay-Paignton stretch of seafront.

A tiny, dog-friendly cove tucked past Paignton's harbour, reached on foot by walking straight over the harbour wall.

Red sand between Paignton and Brixham, backed by a proper run of family facilities — pub, café and shops right on the beach.
