Numerous tourist attractions vie for a share of the resort's visitors including Britain's most important Stone Age site, Kents Cavern, which was home to early man for some 700,000 years and where tourists can visit this subterranean wonderland. The region welcomes thousands of travelers all year long, which is why they have developed a vast lodging infrastructure which includes accommodations such as Torquay vacation rentals, hotels, Torquay short term rentals and Bed & Breakfasts.
Visitors have a variety of lodging options to choose from including Torquay home rentals, Torquay holiday rentals or Torquay vacation rentals. The floor is composed of several strata, with remains indicating the prehistoric coexistence there of humans and now-extinct animals. Living Coasts, another popular Torquay attraction, were built on Beacon Quay which has existed since 1680. In 1857 the Bath's Saloons complex was built on the promontory overlooking Beacon Cove. This included a ballroom, concert hall and sunlit conservatory and private bathing facilities with, underneath, a large public swimming bath open to the sea. The beautiful stone arches of this public bath can still be seen today and have been cleverly incorporated into the shop at Living Coasts. Another old favorite of tourists is the Babbacombe Model Village, opened in 1963. It has attracted children and adults of all ages for generations and is considered one of the best examples of a model village in England.
