Goodrington Beach is located on the 'Devon Riviera', approximately 900 metres wide, and is backed by Goodrington Park gardens. The beach is part of the aptly named ‘English Riviera’ and is a highly accessible and popular destination near Paignton.
The beach offers excellent facilities, including the Seashore Centre, Quaywest Water Park, and a range of watersports such as pedalos, paddle boats, and windsurfing. The Quaywest Water Park features eight waterslides, a small splash pool, and a swimming pool, making it the perfect place to cool down. Visitors can also hire sun loungers, beach huts, and deck chairs.
The beach is divided into two sections: the quieter North beach and the more popular South Beach. From May until the end of September, dogs are only allowed on the North Beach. The soft, golden-red sand and shallow water make this Blue Flag awarded beach a well-visited destination, especially in the summer months. Each day, the beach is raked for pebbles, stones, and seaweed, and in the summer, lifeguards are on duty to patrol the water.
At low tide, Goodrington Sands becomes a popular destination for rock pooling. Visitors can explore the rock pools and discover a range of marine life. The Seashore Centre, located within easy walking distance of the beach, provides information on the types of animals commonly found in the beach's rock pools. Other activities available on the beach include Grand Prix Go-karting and Splashdown Quaywest water slides.
Goodrington Beach is adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
