The town has become a jewel in Devon's crown and has become a very popular seaside resort attracting visitors throughout the year. The secluded bays offer great beaches for relaxing in peaceful surroundings and are great for children as they can spend hours exploring the rock pools.

The town became popular with the arrival of the railway giving rise to large numbers of Victorian buildings. The town has been a regular winner of the 'Britain in Bloom' contest with its beautiful floral displays throughout the town and harbour front.
