family Days Out
Dartmouth is the perfect place for a family day out, whatever the occasion and whatever the weather. Make lasting memories when you take your family to one of the sandy beaches as you spend time together building sandcastles and splashing in the waves. Why not take a trip on the River Dart on a ferry or pleasure cruise? If you can't get enough of the water you could try sea kayaking.
If the sun doesn't shine, there's still plenty to keep you all entertained; visit one of the zoos, thrill yourselves on the rides at a theme park or indulge in a spot of shopping. With plenty to keep all ages entertained, whether you fancy a trip to a museum or a round of golf, Dartmouth will not leave you disappointed. There's plenty of free parking at many beaches, and good public transport links, so there's nothing to keep you away.
