A lovely family day out. Get the steam train from Kingswear which is across the river. It's a lovely train journey. Plenty to do for all the family including a lake with supersized floats in there. A good old fashioned day out.

Burgh Island is a famous upmarket hotel, which many a famous person has stayed or visited over the year. If the tide is out you can walk across the beach to get to it, but if the tide is in, you have to take the sea tractor. Afternoon tea is fabulous but not cheap.

Must do pubs

Recently under new ownership and fully renovated (2023), the Steam Packet Inn is a lovely cosy pub for winter or summer. The staff are very welcoming and the pizzas superb. A new outdoor terrace is due to be completed by May 2023 and a full restaurant menu should be up and running by then too.
