Ferries in Torquay

As Torbay's largest town, Torquay has the best transport links in the bay, including its own train station with direct connections to Exeter and onward to the national rail network, plus the widest range of bus services connecting to Paignton, Brixham and beyond.

Parking is more plentiful in Torquay than in the smaller Torbay towns, with several car parks around the harbour, seafront and town centre, though the busiest summer periods can still see spaces fill up. Ferries run seasonally across the bay to Brixham, and taxis are readily available given the town's size as Torbay's main hub.

Every listing comes from Mapzest's directory of real local businesses, many of which manage their own profile directly, so timetable and service information reflects current details. Whether you're arriving by train, bus, or car, Torquay's travel options reflect its status as the English Riviera's main transport hub.

Timetables for buses, ferries and trains serving Torquay can vary by season, running less frequently outside the busy summer months, so it’s worth checking a specific listing’s current schedule rather than assuming a fixed year-round timetable. Booking parking or travel in advance is generally more useful during peak visiting periods than at quieter times of year.

Because these listings come from the operators themselves where they maintain a profile, checking a specific bus, ferry or train listing above is more reliable than relying on a general search for getting around Torquay and the wider Tor Bay area.

Combining these travel options with Mapzest's wider directory of places to eat, stay and visit around Torquay makes it easier to plan a full visit rather than working out transport separately.
