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.
This Notice replaces NtM 49/19 dated 23 August 2019, which is cancelled.
