Paignton is a charming seaside resort on the English Riviera, where you can enjoy the best of both worlds: a relaxing beach holiday and a lively town centre. Whether you want to sunbathe on the golden sands, swim in the shallow waters, or try paddleboarding, Paignton has a beach for you. You can also stroll along the promenade, visit the traditional pier, or admire the colourful beach huts and palm trees. Paignton is a compact resort, so you can easily explore its shops, cafes, and attractions, such as the zoo, the steam railway, and the geopark. Don't miss the Paignton Festival in July, a week-long celebration of music, comedy, and fireworks.
