Best Outdoor Activities in Torquay

"This innovative, 32-hectare zoo is by far and away Paignton's top draw. Spacious enclosures recreate habitats from savannah and wetland to tropical forest and desert. Highlights include the orangutan island, a glass-walled big-cat enclosure and a lemur wood, where you walk over a plank suspension bridge as the primates leap around the trees. Then there's the crocodile swamp with pathways winding over and beside Nile, Cuban and saltwater crocs. Joint tickets also cover the Living Coasts seabird centre."

"Paignton Zoo is home to over 2,500 animals and is a well-loved attraction. From lions, gorillas, giraffes and more, this zoo is undoubtedly a fabulous day out. There is the opportunity to attend feeding times and talks, so you can get up close and personal with the fascinating creatures."

"A beautiful sandy beach which stretches as far as the eye can see!. Whether you're enjoying the sights of the passing steam train just behind the beach, looking for a relaxing day out after visting Splashdown Quaywest, or simply looking to dig out the bucket and spade and take to the sand, Goodrington is a fabulous choice. Dogs are also welcome on Goodrington Sands North, though are not allowed on the South section."
