Gay Torquay / Gay Devon Guide 2019

Torquay at the heart of the English Riviera as it likes to promote itself is a charming seaside town in South Devon. There are plenty of shops and restaurants plus an attractive harbour. The town with its mild climate has long been a popular UK holiday destination.

Torquay is also home to the few gay bars/ clubs in the area. On a recent visit we popped into the Meadfoot Inn, popular with a slightly older crowd. There are the Steamer Gay and Keywest Resort Gay Saunas and up the road in Exeter there is the Vaults Nightclub.

Apart from the local amenities Torquay is a good base for exploring the rest of the South Hams area including Dartmouth, Kingsbridge and Salcombe and some of the most beautiful coastlines in the country. If you're in the area for a week and have access to a car then get out and explore the area. Brixham is a charming little fishing town. Paignton has a large although admittedly red sandy beach popular with wind surfers. Further down the coast is the charming town of Dartmouth with its famous Naval College. Dartmouth along with Salcombe are both situated on beautiful estuaries and are therefore popular with the sailing fraternity.

There are also some beautiful beaches (Mill Bay and Sunny Cove) on the opposite side of the estuary from Salcombe. These can be reached by taking the small ferry from Salcombe or by car by heading for East Portalmouth via Kingsbridge. However beware, many roads in this part of the country resemble elephant tracks so be prepared to pull into the edge of the road if you encounter a card coming in the opposite direction.

As we did, you might consider hiring a country cottage of which there are plenty. The local tourist information centres can probably supply you with a list of available accommodation. This makes sense if there are a large group of you traveling together and can work out more slightly more cost effective than staying in a hotel. If you wish to stay in specifically gay friendly accommodation then Torquay is once again the place to stay with some very well established and popular gay friendly hotels and guesthouses.

Torquay does tend to fill up very quickly in the summer months so if necessary check out Booking.com or LateRooms for hotel availability and last minute offers.

If you contact any of these hotels/guesthouses please mention you saw them on Gay Britain Network - Gay Travel Guide (www.gaytravel.co.uk).
