The Waterside Inn

The Waterside Inn is a welcoming Greene King pub right by the seafront in Paignton, perfectly positioned if you're planning a day at Goodrington or Oyster Cove beaches.

Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle them with you while you order food and drinks without the back-and-forth logistics of tethering leads outside. The pub has the facilities most dog owners need: a solid car park plus nearby parking options and sports screens if the weather turns and you fancy staying longer than a quick coffee. It's large enough inside to accommodate dogs without them being in the way of other customers, which matters when you're trying to relax.

Stop here before or after a coastal walk—it's the kind of venue where you can grab something to eat, let your dog rest and dry out and get back on with your day without the faff of finding an outdoor-only alternative.
