Favorite thing: Between Torre Abbey Sands and Corbyn's Head Beach there lies a group of rocks and rock pools.
It's good fun to go walking, jumping or hopping around the rocks and looking for crabs or other sea life in the rock pools.
Be careful not be cut off by the tide!

Favorite thing: Rock Walk to a short walk between the Palm Court Hotel at the end of the Torre Abbey Sands and the Princess Theatre which is next to the Marina.
This is shown on the picture below!
Best walked at night (but not alone!), when the coloured lights make this a beautiful sight.

Rock Walk is also know as the Royal Terrace Gardens.

Favorite thing: Living Coasts allows the visitor to see above and below the waves where the sea meets the shore. There are waddling penguins, playful fur seals, colourful tufted puffins, sea ducks, terns, wading birds and much more. These are all housed in their own coastal environment surrounded by colourful plant life beneath a huge meshed canopy allowing the birds to fly freely. They're all at home in this amazing new environment.

Favorite thing: The Gamekeeper's Cottage is at the entrance to the woodland walk. The cottage nestles in the shadow of Manscombe Woods. The earliest record of the cottage is 1517, and the last gamekeeper to live here was in the early 1900s. The intriguing slatted area, just beneath the roof, was used to hang pheasants after a shoot!

Favorite thing: Torquay was a perfect town to study in, I had never been to England before and was really suprised to see palm trees and long, nice beaches! And to have nice weather all summer, I was prepared for rain :)

Favorite thing: Many of the old thatched houses are still owned and lived in by locals - so please remember they still enjoy some privacy!
