Advantages: Scenic, plenty of activities - model village, caves, sea coast

Disadvantages: Fairly expensive - but worth it

I love Torquay, Paignton and the quaint fishing harbour of Brixham, but of the 3 I prefer Paignton for its beach and flat sea and town areas.

It is a place I have visited on many occassions - mostly when I was much younger and it has fond memories. In fact one such memory was of me in the sea while my dad was sleeping in his deckchair - only for me to wake him up as the tide was literally inches from his feet!

Among its attractions are the Babbacombe model village and Kents Cavern which is highly impressive.

It has very good park and it now has a sea coast area which I'm waiting to visit.

However, the only downside with both Torquay and Paignton is that it they are quite expensive - particularly basic things like parking, which includes those with blue badges (like my former wife).

It is an area that I will definitely be taking my partner and children to later this summer, and it is one that I really would like to explore a lot more of.

Summary: Beautiful area but a little costly
