On the outskirts of Paignton in Torbay on the South Devon coast, the area around Goodrington and Roselands combines a lively seafront with quieter suburban streets. It is anchored by the popular Goodrington Sands beach and nearby Broadsands, with a promenade, family-friendly facilities and pleasant views over the bay.
Tourism underpins much of the local economy, with holiday parks, cafés and seasonal shops alongside more permanent local services, while Roselands is largely a mid-20th-century residential neighbourhood. The ward has good bus links into Paignton and across Torbay, a mixed community of families and retirees, and a quieter, community-focused feel compared with busier neighbouring centres.
