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.

Tor Bay Harbour

Back to Visitors

All three Harbours have slipways for the launching and recovery of vessels and jet skis. There is also a limited amount of trailer parking space available at all three locations subject to maritime events.

Please note that Paignton is a drying Harbour so the slipway is only usable approximately 2½ hours either side of high water.

Please be aware all jet skis must be registered prior to use within Tor Bay Harbour limits. We recommend visiting a Tor Bay Harbour office to proceed with the registration.

When using our slipways please follow our slipway safety.
