Our family favourites for exploring Torquay with kids — beach mornings, parks and skating, coastal walks, rainy-day adventures and the food stops our girls love. Pick a few for your stay, then head home to The Hideaway for backyard games or a movie in the loft.

Our version of a perfect Torquay summer day. Sunrise at Whites Beach, coffee at Salty Dog, a family surf and lunch in town, before heading home to The Hideaway for backyard games, a drink on the deck and pizzas from the wood-fired oven.

Explore Torquay on two wheels, from family rides along the Esplanade and Spring Creek to bike parks, coastal tracks and cycling further afield. A few local starting points from The Hideaway.
