The Neighbourhood The quintessential bucket-and-spade resort seaside town of Torquay on Devon's English Riviera coast is vibrant, cheerful and family friendly. Although it has suffered from a 'resort town' reputation in the past, a recent revival has made it a hot spot for seaside escapes. Today, Torquay is a stylish resort with a real continental atmosphere and knows how to cater for everyone’s tastes. For watersports, fishing and sailing, Torquay has a fabulous choice of beaches, while the evenings provide fine dining, theatre, cinema and star-studded shows for all the family. Torquay restaurants bring out the West Country flavour in a diverse range of cuisine, from award-winning fish and chips to internationally inspired gastronomy. Priding itself on its sustainability and overlooking the inner harbour, Rockfish on 20 Victoria Parade offers alternatives to a classic fish and chip supper (which it also serves). For that Michelin star, head to The Elephant on Beacon Hill. You can find great-quality fillet steaks at the Orange Tree, just a few steps from the harbour. Hit Ephesus, a fabulous Turkish/Greek restaurant in town, for great food and a party atmosphere. Nearby Maidencombe Studio is Visto Lounge for family-friendly all-day eating from burgers to tapas, or On the Rocks for a stylish, relaxed vibe. For a bit of glitz, try Soho Cocktail Bar for a fun night out or Elton’s Piano Bar for harbourside music, drinks and food. Stroll across Torquay Harbour Bridge, which spans the inner harbour, to admire the view and the boats. You can get afloat yourself with regular passenger ferries to Paignton, Brixham and Dartmouth, plus fishing and wildlife safari boat trips. At low tide, the long sandy beach is walkable and perfect for swimming. Spot an avocet paddling in the surf as well as turnstones, oystercatchers, herring gulls and black-backed gulls. Enjoy long leisurely strolls along the historic pier and promenade and take in the relaxed atmosphere. You can take the beautiful South West Coast Path right around the bay to Paignton and Brixham, renowned as one of Devon’s very finest waterside walks. Try the pleasant circular amble from Kents Cavern in Torquay through woodland to Meadfoot Beach, where you can enjoy some
