torquay - lads holiday in the summer??

[rich85uk]

As title suggests, what this place like for a lads weekend away in the summer? we used to head down to newquay a few years ago and we always had a great time,lovely places,nice beaches,reasonable nightlife and a nice holiday 'vibe' to it but the only problem is that we might feel abit old in newquay being 26(always seemed to be full of underage drinkers)

so is torquay as nice of newquay? with good beaches and good nightlife, and nice vibe to the place with everybody there for a good time

i take it that maybe its one of these sleepy seaside towns full of old people then, back to the drawing board...

I think you'd probably have more fun in Paignton - which also has the benefit of being flat. Got a very good beach as well.
You can then visit Torquay and Brixham as days out.

Haha, too old for newquay, to be honest I never really saw the attraction myself, bloody expensive and not that nice a place. Highlight of my last visit was the Rattles Cider farm ;-)

Im not sure where you are based but maybe Tenby is worth a shout. Similar to Newquay in that it is a beach town, few clubs, lots of pubs, isnt to far away from eg Oakwood theme park, golf courses, swimming pools an other attractions.

Does not compute?

Newquay is sthole of the highest order in my very humble opinion. Granted the beaches are nice, and Fistral on a late summers evening is splendid but the town is awful.

Torquay is a fight-a-minute hell hole as well full of dhead mockney wideboys on stag weekends looking for a fight with the local dheads. There are some ok pubs and clubs, but they're spoilt by the nobs in attendance.

(I grew up halfwayish between Exeter and Torquay)

thanks for the input guys but looks like we might be heading to eastern europe instead
