Best Outdoor Activities in Exmouth

"Boasting some 2,500 animals spanning 80 acres, Paignton Zoo is certainly one of the larger attractions in the South West. While not the cheapest of activities (£19 for an adult day pass, £14 for children ages 3 – 15 years old) you can take comfort in knowing that through Paignton Zoo’s registered charity, you help support conservation programs for critically endangered and at-risk species. Many attest that the sheer number of animals and variety of free shows to enjoy make the admission worthwhile – you could nearly spend a full day there to see all the exhibits."

"A beautiful sandy beach which stretches as far as the eye can see!. Whether you're enjoying the sights of the passing steam train just behind the beach, looking for a relaxing day out after visting Splashdown Quaywest, or simply looking to dig out the bucket and spade and take to the sand, Goodrington is a fabulous choice. Dogs are also welcome on Goodrington Sands North, though are not allowed on the South section."

"Beach huts, deck chairs and sun beds can be hired as can pedaloes. Plenty of kiosks for ice creams and a drink. Sit outside of the Inn on the Quay, admire the view and have a long cooling drink."

"This is our favourite beach in Paignton as it has something for everyone:. There’s amusements and great views of the steam trains running along Dartmouth Steam Railway at the south end"

"With easy access, this large sandy beach is often quiet when others can get busier, making it a great, safe choice for families. There are a handful of restaurants and cafés for a bite to eat, or why not take a picnic and enjoy sun, sea and sandwiches!. Getting here - Parking is available nearby, both in a car park and surrounding streets."

"Beach shop for the sun cream or to replace that broken spade. Cafe for the hungry or thirsty. Access is good and there is ample parking."

"Stretching from Paignton Harbour all the way to Preston, this fabulous sandy beach is a great, family-friendly base for enjoying sand and sun. With a great selection of restaurants and cafés within just a stones throw, Paignton Sands also plays home to the Pier with its family fun amusements. Getting here - The best way to get to the beach is by taking the service to Paignton Bus Station."

"Preston Sands is to the North of Paignton Sands and is another sheltered beach in Torbay. There’s a promenade and cafe. Dogs are allowed from October to April."
