Bathing in sea water was believed to be very good for your health in the 19^th century. Bathing could and did take place in the sea but sea water baths meant that this could happen when the weather was not so good or even in the winter in hot baths. This page is telling visitors that Torquay has hot and cold sea water baths and fresh water baths too. This meant that Torquay had everything needed to be a healthy watering place.
