Peaked Tor Cove has achieved an Natural Standard classification under the English Riviera Beach Standards. You can find out more about the beach standards and what they mean for visitors.
Peaked Tor is a tiny pebbly cove down a set of over 150 steps from the South West Coast Path behind the Imperial Hotel. In the late 19th century this beach was designated as a 'gentleman’s bathing cove'.
At the top of the steps above the beach is an old wartime Mine Watcher’s post from where mines protecting Torquay Harbour would have been remotely detonated. The old pill box now provides a secure roost for a local colony of Horseshoe Bats.
