From the Fish Quay Torquay The coast of the SW Peninsular is riddled with maritime industries: the stacked crab and lobster pots, ropes, winches and buoys a flash of hectic, tendril'd colour. Torquay fish quay is a wonderfully busy spectacle, framed with the promenade and sky climbing promise of the big wheel! Rosie loves exploring the places where the land meets the sea, from empty beaches to busy quays, exploring the texture and palate of people in this wonderful corner of the planet.
