North sands is dog friendly but the tide reaches far up the beach even on neap tides, whereas South Sands has a greater expanse of free sandy beach. Goodrington is also famous for the steam railway which runs adjacent to the beach, and can be boarded at Goodrington Station. This is a picturesque journey from Paignton to Kingswear, where you can cross the River Dart by ferry over to Dartmouth. Goodrington also has a park with boating lake and nature reserve, go-karts and a crazy golf. Goodrington itself has a long history dating back to the sixteenth century. There is also the old naval hospital from the Napoleonic war which is now a family friendly eatery pub which is part of the Brewer´s Fayre chain with plenty of outside seating taking in the views across the bay. There is a promenade at North Sands, popular with fishermen, especially for summer mackerel. This promenade represents the bottom of Cliff Walk, which leads up and over to Roundham Head and thence to Fairy Cove and Paignton Harbour.

Main Listing Pages Shaldon Zoo Website Previous Next Shaldon Wildlife Trust Set in an acre of peaceful woodland gardens on the Ness headland, above the attractive coastal village of Shaldon, we look after, and help preserve, some of the rarest and most endangered animals in the world. On this site you will find information on our animals and ways in which we are helping with their conservation. You can also buy some of our gift experiences and find out how to get involved with the Trust. Conservation Programmes ~ We work closely with other zoos, wildlife parks and conservation bodies to try and ensure the long-term survival of our animals. Shaldon is a member of the British and European Zoo Associations (BIAZA and EAZA). These organisations are there to ensure high standards of practice within zoos, coordinate breeding programmes and aid zoos in maximising their conservation involvement. The majority of animals kept at Shaldon are part of the European coordinated endangered species breeding programmes (EEPs and ESBs). These programmes help to manage species as a self-sustaining population. This is important for species that are very close to extinction in the wild, and provides a safety-net population. Zoos can also provide individuals for reintroduction projects, providing plants or animals to put back into the wild. Each species has a studbook keeper and programme co-ordinator who recommends suitable pairings to prevent inbreeding, maintain maximum genetic diversity and ensure the captive population is genetically healthy. The Zoo offers a tranquil setting and benefits from ample council run parking on our doorstep. Tides & Weather Torquay Webcams Torquay Maps

Main Listing Pages National Coastwatch Institution - Torbay Website Previous Next The National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) is an entirely voluntary organisation keeping a visual watch along UK shores. Each station assists in the protection and preservation of life at sea and around the UK coastline. Currently 50 NCI stations are operational and manned by over 2000 volunteers keeping watch around the British Isles from Rossall Point in the North West, through Wales, to Wearside in the North East. Whilst high technology and sophisticated systems are aids to improved safety, a computer cannot spot a distress flare, an overturned boat or a yachtsman or fisherman in trouble. Other vulnerable activities like diving, wind surfing and canoeing are made safer with visual surveillance. NCI watchkeepers provide the eyes and ears along the coast, monitoring radio channels and providing a listening watch in poor visibility. They are trained to deal with emergencies, offering a variety of skills and experience and full training by the NCI ensures that high standards are met. Over 240,000 hours of organised coastal surveillance were completed in 2015 alone, all at no cost to the public. Funding is managed by a Board of Trustees with a constitution agreed by the Charity Commission and relies heavily on local support. Welcome to the NCI Torbay station. Access : The Station is located along side the coastal footpath between Torquay Harbour and Meadfoot Beach. Our visitor centre is below the tower. Access to the lookout is up very steep steps outside the tower (but is by request only). Visitor Policy: Visitors are normally most welcome at the lookout although, when an incident is ongoing, this may not always be convenient and the duty watchkeeper may ask visitors to call back later. New members:- if you are interested in joining Torbay NCI, please visit the Tower and ask for an application form. Tides & Weather Torquay Webcams Torquay Maps
