Dartmouth is located in Devon, one of the most popular areas in England for tourism. Within a short distance from Dartmouth there is a wide variety of tourist attractions and holiday activities.
The number one reason why people from the UK and worldwide choose Devon as a holiday destination is its beaches. Whether you're looking for a busy beach with a large choice of activities, or a more secluded, relaxing atmosphere, your needs are catered for in the Dartmouth area. Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands are among the most popular beaches, both less than 10 miles from Dartmouth.
Along the coast, you can observe local nature such as birds, and even more exotic creatures such as penguins at the coastal zoo in Torquay. Take a boat trip to experience the beautiful landscape and see which creatures you can spot. Alternatively, the zoo in Paignton is a great day out, with wildlife including tigers, flamingos, gorillas and giraffes.
