Best Outdoor Activities in Jurassic Coast

"At one time during its millions of years of history Torbay was itself in the middle of a desert, that red Devon soil is a giveaway. As the continents moved apart Torbay moved north. Now modern animals that live in the desert today, the tropics and the savannah can perhaps be seen living in Paignton Zoo."

"Paignton Zoo is home to over 2,500 animals and is a well-loved attraction. From lions, gorillas, giraffes and more, this zoo is undoubtedly a fabulous day out. There is the opportunity to attend feeding times and talks, so you can get up close and personal with the fascinating creatures."

"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."

"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."

"Much like Goodrington Sands, Broadsands is shallow and safe for paddling. There’s a promenade here with a couple of cafes and a large area of park behind. Dogs are allowed between October and April."

"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."
