This is Preston seafront in Torbay, the adjacent beach to Paignton. Sea defences are also currently being installed here with work scheduled to conclude in Spring 2027. This seafront is normally packed for the English Riviera Airshow and the promenade and green normally have the iconic beach huts in place throughout the season. They have all been in storage now since the end of last summer and will remain so until these works are completed.
