Visit Dawlish Town Beach

Dawlish Town Beach is a picturesque coastal seaside destination on the Devon coast. The beach, a mixture of sand and shingle, curves along a sheltered bay for over a mile, from Lea Mount to Langstone Rock.

It’s easy to get to, being just a short walk from the town centre, and one of the unique features of Dawlish Town Beach is the railway. Dawlish train station is located right on the seafront, and runs along the beach, adding a distinctive charm.

The area around the beach caters well to visitors’ needs. There are plenty of places to eat just around the corner from the station, so you can always find refreshments during your visit. The relaxed atmosphere and charming surroundings make Dawlish Town Beach an excellent spot for a peaceful day by the sea.

The beach is ideal for various activities. Enjoy leisurely strolls along the sea wall or soak up the sun on the sand and shingle shore. For those seeking adventure, boat and fishing trips around the bay are available, offering the exciting possibility of spotting dolphins.

Adding to the beach’s unique character are the famous black swans of Dawlish, which can often be seen in the vicinity, delighting visitors with their graceful presence.

Dogs are allowed along the beach from the slipway adjacent to the Railway Station until 230 metres before Red Rock at Dawlish Warren.
