Paignton is an English coastal town on "the English Riviera" near Torquay, in the county of Devon. Nowadays Paignton depends heavily on tourism, and is marketed predominantly at the lower to middle earners of the British population. The long beach in summer is crowded by tourists devouring ice-cream and fish'n'chips. Night life is predominantly late-opening bars and clubs on the sea-front. A recent addition to Paignton's attractions is the Quaywest waterpark on Goodrington beach. However, the most famous attraction in the town still remains Paignton Zoo. Paignton beach and the nearby Preston Sands are the best places in Torbay to launch for water sports such as wind and kite surfing, as well as dinghy sailing. abbotskerswell
