There is a beach to please you whether you want a beach to lay out your towel and sunbath and swim, build sandcastles, have a gentle paddle, ramble through a rock pool or just a quiet place to sit and watch the surf.
Dartmoor is close by with its open moorlands to ramble and high tors to climb giving magnificent views back to the coast line. There are some magnificent walks on the moors, Nigel at the Guest House will be able to lend a book with the details of these.
Torquay is set in the English Riviera Geopark, allowing you to see ancient rocks and remains, Kents Cavern is always worth a visit as is Berry Head at Brixham, the Babbacombe Downs and the red sandstone at Goodrington beach.
