If you go down to the sea today!



Surprisingly many people don’t know that Paignton has a harbour! Not only has Paignton got a harbour but that harbour is one of the prettiest in the area. The harbour walls are made from old red sandstone and seem to glow in the late afternoon summer sunshine.

In an attempt to share the wonder of this quaint little harbour the local community have decided to hold a community day on August 15th! That day will be jam-packed with so many yummy things to do including feasting on freshly cooked seafood. Part of the fun will be a traditional Punch and Judy show that will both fascinate and entertain.

But why wait until then do discover the magic of Paignton’s picturesque harbour? Walk the coastal path for a while and pause for coffee or freshly cooked tapas whilst watching colourful boats bob on the rising tide. Experience the atmospheric energy that fills the air as you tuck into a delicious evening meal overlooking Tor Bay.

This wonderful harbour is ageless and that is demonstrated by the wide range of activities that weave a rich tapestry. You will find rowing, sailing, diving, fishing and so much more. Watch the ski boats leave the harbour heading for the open sea and ferries that allow passengers to see South Devon in a very different way.

Why not sit in the summer sun whilst enjoying a picnic on Fairy Cove? Hear the sound of seabirds as you doze for a while and smile.  The spirit of Paignton’s hidden gem will wrap itself around you and your life will be the better for it.

Keep the smile.
