With 22 miles of beautiful coastline, watersports play a large part in the numerous leisure activities available to visitors. When visiting Torquay, within a few miles you'll be able to enjoy a multitude of water sports; safe diving with both BSAC and PADI diving schools, sailing, with dinghies and "cats" for hire, plus sailing instruction if needed. Fishing from shore and charter boats (all harbour areas) is very popular, with some great catches this year.

Other popular sporting activities include tennis, squash, badminton, pitch & putt, bowling greens, ten pin bowling and more!

Pitch and putt at Goodrington and Broadsands is always fun whatever your age. The main leisure centres in Paignton and Torquay have swimming pools and lots of other resources for the active family.

For those people preferring to stay on dry land, you will find some of the most beautiful coastal walks in the country to enjoy. The South West Coast Path National Trail has 630 miles of superb coastal walking and stretches from Minehead on the edge of the Exmoor National Park to the shores of Poole Harbour in Dorset.
