Beverley Bay is part of Beverley Park on Goodrington Road in Paignton. The two sides are run together by Beverley Holidays but sit either side of the road, and the facilities are not identical. People often ask what they get with their stay, what needs a pass and what does not. This guide pulls together what we know and tells you where to check. Our caravan is privately owned, so for official park information, the Beverley Holidays website and reception always have the final word.
The two sides of the park
Beverley Bay is the quieter side, and where our caravan is. Beverley Park is the bigger main park across the road, with more entertainment. Walking between them is straightforward, but you cross a road, so keep children close.
What is on Beverley Bay
These facilities are on the Bay side and do not need a pass:
- Cove outdoor pool. A heated outdoor pool, open seasonally. In 2026 it ran daily from 22 May to 6 September, weather permitting. Other years may differ, so check the Beverley Holidays website before relying on it.
- Saltwater Kitchen, Terrace & Bar. A seasonal pub with live sport, pool, shuffleboard, table football, interactive darts and free WiFi. It has a dog-friendly terrace.
- Cove play area and a recreation field for ball games and running about.
- Dog walking field and a warm dog shower.
- Launderette and electric car chargers.
Our own caravan has front decking with views, parking and private WiFi, which is included in the booking.
What is across the road at Beverley Park
Beverley Park has the indoor pool, the Starlight Bar clubhouse with evening entertainment, adventure golf, soft play and an arcade, and it is where reception is. Reception is open 9am to 5pm at the time of writing. There is a cash point at reception.
Passes: what you need and what you do not
This is the part people most often misunderstand, so we will be plain:
- Passes are not included in our booking. They are an optional extra, bought at reception.
- The Beverley Park indoor pool and the Starlight Bar clubhouse need passes.
- The Saltwater Kitchen pub and the Cove outdoor pool on Beverley Bay do not need passes.
We have not quoted pass prices, because the park sets them and they change. Ask at reception, and check whether the pass covers the whole party and which dates and activities it includes. If you only want a swim in summer and a drink, you may find the Bay side is all you need.
Who each side suits
- Families with young children often enjoy the Bay's play area and pool in summer and may add passes for rainy days at the indoor pool and soft play. See the rainy-day guide.
- Couples and quieter stays tend to do well on the Bay side, particularly outside the school holidays. See the best time to visit.
- Dog owners will like the dog field and shower, but must remember the park's rules on dogs near pools, play areas and the Starlight Bar. See the dog-friendly guide.
Seasonal reality
Several facilities are seasonal. The Cove pool is outdoors and the Saltwater Kitchen is described as seasonal, which means that in winter and the shoulder months they may be closed. That is part of the trade-off of a winter short break, when you get a quieter park and lower footfall but fewer on-site facilities. Always confirm what is open for your dates.
Shops and supplies
There is a shop about 0.14 miles from the caravan, and a pub about 0.39 miles away according to the listing. For a big shop, there are supermarkets in Paignton, and the Co-op at Hookhills is close. Our first-time guide covers what to buy for the first night.
Getting around
The number 23 bus stops right outside the park, and the number 12 runs from Dartmouth Road. Goodrington Sands is under a mile away on foot. If you do not have a car, you can get to many places by bus, and Paignton station is about 10 minutes away by taxi or bus. See things to do near Beverley Bay.
Rules worth knowing
- No smoking in the caravan.
- Dogs on a short lead, and not around pools, play areas, soft play, the Starlight Bar or shower blocks.
- Respect quiet hours and the park's wider rules; ask at reception for the current ones.
Check before you go
Facilities change from season to season, and we are not the park. Before you build a holiday around the pool or a particular show, check the Beverley Holidays website or call reception. We would rather you plan with accurate information than rely on a year-old blog.
If you would like to stay on Beverley Bay, our caravan is on the quieter side of the park, and the button below shows live prices and availability.
Opening times, prices, seasonal dates and rules change. Please check with each attraction, venue or the park before you travel. This is a privately owned caravan guide, not an official park or tourism site.
