Living Coasts, Torquay's award-winning coastal zoo, is home to a magnificent array of marine life from around the world. Set in a state of the art naturalistic environment, you can journey from the South African coast to a mangrove forest and then on to a sunken wreck. Living Coasts offers visitors the chance to get closer to the animals than ever before; join us at a penguin feed to see these incredible birds waddle around your feet. With a host of events and activities throughout the year, you are sure of a great day out whatever the weather.
