Avast, Me Hearties!! There be a place on the coast, one of skullduggery and wretched piracy. It be called Pirates Bay! Experience the adventure of Pirates Bay - A landscaped 18 hole course situated on Paignton Seafront. It's great fun for all the family. Dodge cannonballs and evade the thieving pirates as you navigate the lush carpeted greens, sink your ball but don't sink your ship!

Played crazy golf here twice in three days last week with my wife and mother in law. Very well presented and maintained site right on the sea front. Full 18 "holes" so good value and great fun. Will definitely visit again the next time we are in the Torbay area. Many thanks to the owners/operators of the venue.
4. Paignton Geopark

Reviewed By TinBoxTraveller - South Devon, United Kingdom
We regularly visit the Geopark when we are in Paignton. It's just off the beach and there's activities for all ages. In the summer the water and sand pit are great fun - make sure you bring a change of clothes or something you don't mind the kids getting wet. There's swings, a mini trampoline and small climbing frame for little kids, and for older kids there are some huge structures for them to climb over.
5. Vue Cinema Torbay

Reviewed By spvdevon - Exeter, United Kingdom
We have been visiting the Vue cinema in Paignton since its opened, its our favourite cinema in Devon. We recently visited as my 4 year old wanted to see Frozen 2. It was a Saturday morning, quickly served with tickets and food. I think the food isn't bad value considering its a cinema. We were in screen 4, I noticed the lighting still has the logo for the previous operator, Apollo cinema. It's a shame nothing has opened at the old bar area at the top, but the cinema is still in good condition and clean throughout. Will continue to visit in the future.
