About Torre Abbey Sands

Torre Abbey Sands is an excellent long sandy beach west of Torquay harbour and is located along the seafront in Torquay. This is the main beach for Torquay and is popular with holidaymakers from the surrounding hotels, day visitors and locals. The sandy beach is great for making sandcastles and rests between rock headlands which provide a safe sheltered area. 

There are plenty of attractions nearby including the Princess Pier, Royal Terrace Gardens (Rock Walk)Princess Gardens, and Abbey Park and Meadows is just across the road from the beach. The beach is an easy walk to the town centre of Torquay and some of the main areas of accommodation.
