With over 16 square miles of sheltered waters, the English Riviera offers the perfect arena to take part in any number of watersports.
Coupled with one of Britain's best climate records, you will find mild sea temperatures and the perfect conditions for a wealth of activities on the water. Popular activities include; sailing, sail-boarding, powerboats, kayaking, waterskiing, jet skiing, kite surfing and sea-fishing.
Through the summer months the Bay is filled with activity and the English Riviera plays host to around 50 regional, national and international watersports events.
The horseshoe-shaped Bay offers good protection from the prevailing winds, making it the ideal place for sheltered scuba dives in many areas. 
Two world-class marinas at Torquay and Brixham and the three enclosed harbours of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham together offer excellent facilities with an abundance of on-shore amenities including harbourside restaurants and marine stores selling chandlery, specialist clothing and equipment.
An altogether easier option is to simply enjoy one of the many pleasure trips on offer from each of the three towns, including an extended trip to Dartmouth and on to Greenway Gardens, the home of Agatha Christie.
