Paignton Pier is a classic seaside pier extending 250 metres into Tor Bay, built in 1879. It features a traditional amusement arcade, a café serving fish and chips, and a large sun deck with seating. The pier is a hub for family entertainment, with seasonal events and live music. Anglers can fish from the end without a license. Its distinctive Victorian ironwork and panoramic sea views make it a beloved landmark.
