We understand the importance of assistance dogs. They support their owners' daily activities and well-being. We have a commitment to accessibility. Working/assistance dogs are permitted on all Torbay beaches, all year round.

We want everyone to have a comfortable experience on the beach. We kindly request that all assistance dogs are clearly identified as such with a vest or harness. This helps to inform other beachgoers. They will then understand why the dog is on the beach and welcome it.

Fairy Cove is a pretty little beach to the South of Paignton Sands, just over the Harbour wall, which is popular with families.

Comprised of red sand and shingle with red sandstone cliffs at the back; at low tide the beach is separated from the sea by flat rocks with interesting rock pools to explore.

The beach is just behind Paignton Harbour  Opens in a new window and there is also pitch and put golf nearby.
