Dawlish - Main Beach
The main front, otherwise known as the "Town Beach", stretches for
over a mile, between Langstone Rock and Lea Mount. The beach, a mix
of sand and shingle, is very popular for bathing, with frequent
summer temperatures of 30c.
With the beaches main access being under the railway bridge, there
are nearby toilets, as well as all the usual amenities, such as
snacks and ice-cream sales. Pleasure boat trips around the bay are
available during the summer season.
A sea wall keeps any stormy winter seas from invading the town and
along the top of the wall, by means of a wide footpath, you can take
a pleasant walk to Dawlish Warren. The path passes the exposed red
rock cliffs, eroded over the many years by the sea since they were
formed in the Precambrian times.
 Coryton
Cove
Coryton
Cove is a secluded sandy cove with the main railway line running
behind against the high cliffs backdrop. Not so many years back it
was deemed to be a "Gentleman's Cove" due to the privacy it offered.
To the north there are rock pools, while to the southwest there are
secret beaches via the tunnels dug into the cliffs!
The beach faces into the early morning sun and stays sunny all day
into the evening, and with its seaside award many claim that this is
the best beach in the area. From Coryton Cove you can watch the
Cormorants diving for mackerel, or perhaps catch a glimpse of the
Dolphins playing off Dawlish.
Boat Cove
Boat Cove is next to Coryton Cove and, as it's name implies, offers
boat trips. There are toilets at Boat Cove, in fact the toilets are
so good they were given a 3 star award!
Further along is Shell Cove which is a lovely little beach,
which can only be reached by boat.
Dawlish Warren
 The
sandy beach of Dawlish Warren can be found to the north of Dawlish,
being over two miles long extending into the mouth of the Exe
estuary. Ideal for relaxing family days on the beach, it
offers very safe bathing and is supervised by a team of experienced
lifeguards, as it gently slopes down towards the sea.
Dawlish Warren has all the usual amenities, with a choice of
eateries, rides and shops - all you need for that perfect seaside
holiday.
An extensive childrens entertainment programme runs throughout the
summer, including slapstick comedy, concerts and children's parties,
while for the adults can search out that elusive bargain at the
weekly open air market. |
