We understand the importance of assistance dogs. They support their owners' daily activities and well-being. We have a commitment to accessibility. Working/assistance dogs are permitted on all Torbay beaches, all year round.
We want everyone to have a comfortable experience on the beach. We kindly request that all assistance dogs are clearly identified as such with a vest or harness. This helps to inform other beachgoers. They will then understand why the dog is on the beach and welcome it.
Institute Beach is currently closed due to cliff damage.
Institute beach is a quiet little cove backed by red sandstone cliffs, which is tucked away behind the Livermead Cliff Hotel on Torquay’s seafront road and looks across to Abbey Sands.
The beach is made up of sand, shingle and rocks and at low tide interesting rock pools are exposed.
Institute beach is right next to Livermead sands and is accessed by a set of steps off Cliff Road.
