Waterside Holiday Park - Caravan Holidays

Why you’ll love this park...

Picture postcard views of the South Devon coastline and ocean
Entertainment for the whole family - with even more on offer during school holidays
Relax on park or explore the local Blue Flag beach

On the cusp of the Paignton area lies Waterside Holiday Park, with its spectacular views of the South Devon coastline and the ocean.

From its elevated position, you will enjoy stunning picture postcard views of the Torbay coastline, and it is close to the fabulous beaches and attractions of the famed English Riviera. Stay at Waterside and you can take a trip to beautiful Goodrington Sands, an award winning Blue Flag beach ideal for swimming and topping up the tan.

There's so many good reasons to spend a holiday or short break at Waterside. Relax in our friendly clubhouse and enjoy a tasty bite to eat. During the day you can also recline on the Sun Terrace, with a drink in hand, while the kids have a splashingly good time in the heated outdoor pool.

Waterside is renowned for its amazing setting, along with the famous Steam Railway that borders the park. With easy access out onto the headland, guests can walk through the tunnel under the Steam Railway to remarkable views of the Torquay coastline and coastal paths great for dog walkers and hiking. It's all here in this ideal Devon location.

The wonderful sights come courtesy of the hillside location so it's not particularly suitable for anyone who struggles with slopes, but don't worry, if you prefer your park to be on a flat surface we can thoroughly recommend our sister park, nearby Dawlish Sands. Our holiday accommodation is based on the flattest part of the holiday park, with parking in most areas just a short walk away.
