As well as first great western railway service, National Express coach network operates from practically anywhere into the town's central bus station. If traveling by car, follow the south west bound motorway, then Torquay signs and finally Paignton directions along the ring road. Head for the sea front and on sighting the pier, turn into the Inn-on-the-Green car park almost opposite and park up in the loading bay to walk past the barrier to collect a swipe card to allow entry into the private New Esplanade Court parking area where an allocated space (number 9) is available. Simple.
