What beach activities should we do in Torquay?

For those looking for a relaxing time, spending a day on Torre Abbey Sands or Oddicombe Beach is a must. Torre Abbey Sands is easily accessible from the town centre and has plenty of facilities nearby, including cafes and toilets. Oddicombe Beach, reachable by the Babbacombe Cliff Railway, offers a more secluded feel with stunning cliff views and calm waters superb for swimming. Both beaches are great for couples looking for a peaceful day by the sea.

If you're after something more active, exploring the coastline by kayak or paddleboard is a fantastic option. You can hire equipment from various points along the waterfront, particularly around the harbour and near Meadfoot Beach. This allows you to discover hidden coves and get a different perspective of Torquay's rugged cliffs. Families with older children often enjoy these activities, as they offer a fun way to explore and get some exercise together.

For a great experience, consider a boat trip from Torquay Harbour. These trips range from short coastal cruises that highlight local landmarks to longer excursions for fishing or wildlife spotting. Many operators offer trips that explore the wider Tor Bay area, providing excellent views back towards the town and the surrounding English Riviera coastline.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Torquay as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Torquay for you.
