     The English Riviera

STOP PRESS

It is official: The English Riviera has gained Blue Flag status and Quality Coast Awards for 2011 on 10 of its beaches along the 22 miles of English Riviera coastline.

Torquay with its shimmering harbour, new marina and sub-tropical gardens, is an international coastal resort, justifiably known as the 'Queen of the English Riviera'.

Torquay is one of the most stylish resorts in Britain. It has all of the attractions you need to ensure that you have a holiday experience you'll never forgot, as well as having one of Britains best climate records.

For the more adventurous, explore the natural beauty of Dartmoor or some of the many miles of coastal paths and beaches that South Devon has to offer.

The English Riviera is a place to relax, to soak up the atmosphere, to take in the scenery, the parks and the gardens and to enjoy the experience of a holiday in a classical English Seaside resort, at all times of the year.

Relax on one of South Devon's marvellous beaches and soak up the sun, or if you prefer something a little more energetic there is yachting, windsurfing, water skiiing, swimming, tennis, golf or bowls. There is something for everyone on the English Riviera.
