A Romantic Beach & Waterpark Escape: Couples’ Guide from The Wentworth to Splashdown Quaywest

There’s something magical about the English Riviera — especially when you mix sandy beaches, thrilling water slides, calm seaside strolls, and cosy breakfasts for two. If you’re staying at The Wentworth Guest House, you’re already in one of the most romantic spots in Paignton, with all the ingredients for the perfect couples’ getaway.

Wake Up By The Sea

Your base for this getaway is the charming Wentworth Guest House, a Victorian-style B&B tucked away beside peaceful Youngs Park and just a short stroll from the sands of Goodrington Beach. Couples love the tranquil vibes, clean rooms, friendly hosts, and delicious breakfasts that set you up for the day ahead.

Sweet Morning Rituals

  • Start your day with a freshly cooked breakfast together - from classic Full English to lighter continental options.
  • Sip a hot coffee in your room or in the cosy guest snug before heading out into the sunshine.
  • Head out across the lane to Youngs Park, admire the wildlife on the beautiful boating lake and listen with nostalgia as the steam train chugs past.

Stroll the Sands to Goodrington Beach

Just minutes from your doorstep, Goodrington Sands is one of Devon’s prettiest beaches — soft sand, shallow waters, and stunning views across the bay towards Brixham and Berry Head.

Here’s how to make beach time special:

  • Picnic on the sand: Pack snacks or grab takeaway from one of the beach cafés.

  • Dip your toes: Even if it’s cooler out, there’s something romantic about feeling the tide lap around your feet.

  • Watch the sunset: Ending the day here is pure coastal magic.

Make a Splash Together at Quaywest

A quick walk from the beach brings you to Splashdown Quaywest, the UK’s largest outdoor waterpark with slides, pools, and endless fun.

  • Team up on twists and turns: Dare each other on speedy slides like Devil’s Drop or the Wild Kamikaze.

  • Laugh on the lazy bits: Take a gentler ride when you need a breather, or watch the world go by from the sidelines.

  • Make memories: The waterpark is all about shared thrills, giggles, and that joyful carefree feeling of summer.

💡 Tip: Go earlier in the day if you’re visiting in summer to enjoy quieter queues and maximise your time at the waterpark.

Chill Out After the Waves

After a splash-filled morning or afternoon:

  • Grab a hot drink or ice cream at one of the beachside stalls.

  • Relax in the beach deck chairs and soak up the views.

  • Head back to The Wentworth for a relaxing shower and change before dinner.

There are plenty of lovely cafés, pubs, and seaside eateries within walking distance of your guesthouse for a romantic evening meal by the sea.
