Torre Abbey is the main beach serving Torquay. It has calm, shallow water, making it a great location for families with small children. Although the beach is quite safe, families should note that there is no lifeguard on duty and there are some rocks that jut out of the water. Everyone should stay on the lookout. Nonetheless, the beach's location is great, as it is in close proximity to several cafes, restaurants, and hotels that sit just off the shore.
