The three resort towns of the English Riviera - Torquay, Paignton and Brixham - share an enviable reputation as one of the UK's leading holiday destinations.
However, the treasures of Torbay are not confined to its beaches, gardens and heritage. When it comes to shopping, the towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham have bags of choice to surprise and delight you.

Torquay
has a vibrant town centre, with high street shops and department stores
along the main street and the harbourside. Fleet Walk is a stylish
undercover shopping centre, home to chic shops and boutiques, while the Pavilion is a stunning converted Victorian theatre, which now
houses a unique collection of specialty shops, as well as a bar and
restaurant overlooking the marina.
A short drive or picturesque bus ride away are the historic districts of Babbacombe and St Marychurch, which offer stunning coastal views across Lyme Bay, together with charming independent shops and galleries and restaurants.
For
an altogether different kind of shopping, Paignton has a good mixture
of family run businesses and national stores lining the ever popular
Torbay Road and Victoria Street, whilst Winner Street is fast becoming
a stylish little street of colourful and unusual shops. 
Brixham’s
picture postcard streets are home to a rich choice of gifts, fresh
food, clothes stores, al fresco cafes and art shops. Lose yourself in
the quaint winding alleys and discover a wealth of souvenirs and gifts,
many with a nautical theme.
