This coastal ramble takes you from seafront Wetherspoons to tucked-away locals and microbars with railway flair. Starting by the beach and circling through the historic heart of town, you’ll enjoy harbour views, Grade II-listed pubs, and hidden gems serving everything from Otter to Upside craft.
It’s a leisurely stroll through Paignton’s pub scene that pairs perfectly with a sunny afternoon—or a rail trip with plenty of stops. Trains and buses make it effortlessly accessible, but the beer and charm might just tempt you to linger.
