Dawlish Beach

Dawlish Beach is a well-liked tourist spot situated in Exmouth, Devon, situated between Exmouth and Torquay. This beach is recognized for its accommodating attitude towards dogs, which draws in many dog owners.

However, it is noteworthy to mention that there are no lifeguards on duty, and the water quality can be compromised after heavy rainfall.

On the town side of the tracks, there is a circular road layout with restaurants and amusements. A brief walk from Dawlish Beach is Coryton Cove, which has red cliff faces and a railway track. However, the water quality at Coryton Cove can also be influenced by streams from the hills.
