Goodrington

Goodrington is located on-route from Paignton towards Brixham. This beautiful cliff walk follows the coast from Paignton Harbour down to the Norht  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 oceanfront is a grassy area with a boating lake and café. 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.
