Paignton with its long red sanded beach, is instantly recognized by its 235 metre pleasure pier which was opened in June 1879, a safe sandy award winning family beach where you can hire pedalos, sun loungers, beach huts or deck chairs, also there is a thriving harbour with plenty of pleasure boats offering trips along the breathtakingly beautiful South Devon coastline, and also up the River Dart through Dartmouth to Totnes.
Goodrington being a suburb of Paignton does not always get the recognition it deserves. The Paignton Holiday Guide promotes Goodrington with the same enthusiasm as it does with Paignton, and is full of helpful information on the local area with web links to some of the best attractions in Torbay on the English Riviera.
Goodrington Sands Beach in Paignton is at the heart of the English Riviera, midway between Brixham and Torquay, a safe sandy award winning family beach where you can hire pedalos, sun loungers, beach huts or deck chairs, or go for a stroll through the gardens on the cliffs, which are lit up at dusk, to Paignton harbour.
Adjacent to the beach is Goodrington park with boating lake, Go-karts, Quaywest water theme park, Amusements, Crazy Golf Pitch and Putt, The Seashore Centre and a Brewers Fayre family eatery pub which has excellent child facilities.
You can also board the Paignton to Dartmouth steam train here at Goodrington, for a really spectacular journey along the coast.
One of the great beauties of Torbay is its unspoilt coastline offering some breathtaking views. The aptly named English Riviera has a 22 mile stretch of coastline, in which there are 20 safe beaches and secluded coves.
So whether you are after a place to lay out your towel, build sandcastles, have a gentle paddle, ramble through a rockpool or just a quiet place to sit and watch the surf, you are sure to find it here at one of Paignton´s 5 lovely beaches, which are Broadsands Beach, Elberry Cove, Goodrington Sands, Paignton Sands and Preston Sands. Paignton also has another 2 small coves, the first called Saltern Cove which is next to Goodrington Sands Beach and the other, Fairy Cove is next to Paignton Harbour.
