Beaches

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

Welcome Family is located near the wonderful Dawlish Warren beach. It has won the Blue Flag award many times, based on water quality and cleanliness. This means you and your children can have fun both in and out of the water!

If you are looking for a beach guide of South Devon, here are a few worth visiting on a daytrip –

Branscombe Beach

This is a well-maintained shingle beach, with lots of rock pools just waiting to be explored by your family. There is a car park close to the South Devon beach, toilets and a small picnic area. Fishing trips are also available.

Coryton Cove

This secluded beach consists of soft sand and shingle, great for walks. It is also ideal for swimming, although it is not patrolled by lifeguards. There are rock pools nearby and dolphin sightings are common! A popular centre for water sports, there is good disabled access.

Dawlish

Located next to Dawlish Warren, this sandy beach is quiet and relaxing. Facing the sun as it rises; it is quite stunning on early morning walks. There is easy disabled access and dogs are allowed in certain areas. Food and drink can be bought from a kiosk on the beach and shops nearby.

Shaldon

This gentle South Devon beach is a mix of shingle and sand is popular with families. It is next to the red cliffs that shelter Shaldon village and is accessed through the small Smuggler’s Tunnel. There are striking views of the Teign Estuary and Teignmouth, accessible by ferry. Seals can occasionally be seen from here.
