Living Coasts

Living Coasts features a range of fascinating coastal creatures from loud and loveable penguins to playful fur seals, colourful puffins to waders and sea ducks. There are sandy beaches, rugged cliff faces and a tranquil estuary. A huge meshed aviary allows birds to fly free over your head, while special windows give stunning crystal clear views of birds and seals underwater. Then relax in the water-side cafe with its stunning views across Tor Bay, and enjoy morning coffee, lunch or a cream tea- all with the best views in South Devon.

Living Coasts is situated on Torquay Harbourside on Beacon Quay, Torquay. Once in Torquay follow the A379 and the 'penguin' on the brown tourist signs. Living Coasts does not have its own car park, but there is a small council car park next to us and, if this is full, ample public car parking in Torquay. Please note: the nearest car park with no height restriction is the Meadfoot Road car park.
