Goodrington is located on-route from Paignton towards Brixham. This beautiful cliff walk follows the coast from Paignton Harbour down to the North Sands beach. The walk has been planted with exotic vegetation and flowers from around the world, donated by the founder of Paignton Zoo Herbert Whitley in 1930. The gardens are mature and offer a stunning floral display in spring and summer. Brewsters have a pub on the seafront, which has excellent child facilities and offers a refreshing break from the beach. South sands is a pleasant beach, which is often untouched by high tide providing a drier sand surface to sit on. Rocks at each end of the beach provide interesting low tide exploration for children with fishing nets and buckets. The
beach shelves gently and is ideal for families. Behind the Devon red sandy
ocean front is a grassy area with a boating lake and cafe. Goodrington
has two beaches separated by the Quay West complex. An impressive waterslide
park, go-kart track and amusements can be enjoyed here along with activities
for children such as Punch and Judy, which take place on the beach. There
is a sea centre here with free entry, which provides information about
the local sea creatures and offers talks, walks and activities throughout
the summer |
