Cashless Service

Torbay Harbour Authority and Beaches are transitioning to a cashless service across all offices, quaysides, and beaches. This will cover, among other things, visitor charges, launch and recovery, electric, and short-term beach hut hires.

This change will apply from Monday 14th April. Our goal is to streamline operations, improve the safety of our staff and the service efficiency.

Thank you for your understanding.

Back to Events

Paignton Festival (formally Torbay Carnival) takes place at the end of July, featuring 9-days of amazing entertainment.

Highlights include The Party on the Green with Breeze FM, children's entertainment, sporting events, the Miss Torbay competition, a funfair, classic car show,  firework display and the carnival procession itself. Centred around Paignton Green, this event has been running for over 100 years, growing from a simple procession, into a substantial family festival. And best of all, the vast majority of events are absolutely free, although please consider making a donation, as the team support some deserving local charities.
