You are here: What's On > What's On This Month
The warmest of welcomes awaits you on the English Riviera, South Devon's beautiful coastline. Surrounded by stunning coast and countryside, Torquay, Babbacombe, Cockington, Paignton, Goodrington and Brixham offer fantastic year round holidays with lots of things to do for everyone!
A Beach Holiday and So Much More
The English Riviera may be most famous for its award winning sandy beaches and exotic palm trees, but has much more to offer than just seaside holidays. The English Riviera has a great choice of indoor and outdoor attractions and is a designated UNESCO Global Geopark. Getting out on the water is what our visitors love to do, and there is a great selection of watersports and boat trips.
The Perfect Place to Stay
As one of the country’s most popular holiday destinations, there’s no shortage of accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets, including a growing choice of award winning hotels, bed and breakfasts and quality self catering establishments.
