Torquay is a town in the unitary authority of Torbay and ceremonial county of Devon, England. If the Torbay area, of which Torquay forms a third, were to be recognised as a city as incumbent Torbay Mayor Nicholas Bye has proposed. The harbour is Torquay's lively 'town square'. The stunning new Waterfront, with its striking footbridge has restaurants, shops, café bars and of course, the new Living Coasts attraction. During the day there is shopping to be done in Fleet Walk Shopping Centre, in the Pavilion or perhaps in the pretty village shopping street of St. Marychurch. After dark Torquay comes alive again, when most will want to be out strolling the promenade, savouring the unique night-time atmosphere of the U.K.'s first 'resort'.
