Paighton Holidays

The resort of Paignton lies on the south-east coast of Devon, and offers a family-friendly seaside resort with a traditional charm, and plenty of convenient facilities. A well-established coastal town ideally positioned between Exmouth and Brixham, just next to Torbay, holidays in Paignton allow for a relaxing break on the famous English Riviera, known for its sunshine, sandy beaches and sub-tropical vegetation, and a great choice for a UK family holiday or short break this year.

 

The resort boasts a wonderful coastline full of long sandy beaches and quiet coves, which sit in the natural sheltered bay, with Paignton holidays offering not only leisurely relaxing and family fun on the seafront, but water sports such as kite surfing, jet skiing and dinghy sailing, which are available from the harbour or along the coast. Paignton family summer holidays feature days on the resort's long Victorian pier, which boasts traditional attractions, amusements and games for all the family, and offers wonderful views out along the seafront. Paignton has a historic past, and the old part of town boasts medieval buildings and Victorian architecture, with holidays in Paignton including strolls around the town past local shops and cafes, and along the beachfront illuminations at night. Coastal walks and bike rides are popular on Paignton holidays, as well as hikes and rambles through the scenic countryside, which give visitors the chance to discover the charm and character of the quaint local towns and villages on their South Devon holiday. There's a choice of holiday cottages and UK lodges and country homes on a Paignton holiday, with accommodation to suit all budgets and styles.  

 

Entertainment on a Paignton holiday is family-friendly and traditional, with the town boasting many waterfront restaurants and cafes, a large multi-screen leisure complex, and an old-style theatre. Away from the beach, Paignton holidays can include trips to the popular Paignton Zoo, Compton Castle, Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway, Kirkham House and Oldway Mansion.
