Sandy spit
- Essentially a sandy spit, the natural processes of the sea working against the coast formed Dawlish Warren. In recent history Dawlish Warren was developed as the railway brought in more visitors keen to enjoy the beaches along the South Devon coast, and today manages to be both an outstanding nature reserve and family orientated seaside resort.

Dawlish warren beach is one of my favourites to visit in the area - it's flat making it an easy walk round in the summer months with plenty of views to take in. There is also the boathouse restaurant, quite a large amusement section and an area with rides for kids (and big kids, like me).

The sandy Dawlish Town Beachruns along the coast by the town, and at the far end, it’s backed by cliffs. It’s a long beach, perfect for a stroll, and trains travelling to Exeter and Plymouth whizz along the parallel tracks. You can swim here in the summer months – and it’s usually a lot quieter than nearby Dawlish Warren!
One of the main things that Dawlish is famous for is its unique black swans. You’ll find these birds bobbing around on Dawlish water. They were brought here from Australia in the early 1900s and have lived in the town ever since! They’re easy to spot and are usually followed by a keen tourist with a camera! Don’t get too close to them, as swans can...
Dawlish Water spans the length of the town centre, and while the main attraction is undoubtedly the black swans, it’s also a charming spot to stroll down or sit on a bench for a while and take the town in. Dawlish Water is lined with quaint cafes, sweet shops, ice cream stalls and restaurants. I highly recommend Annie’s, which I’ve described next!
There are plenty of tea rooms along Dawlish Water, but one I particularly love is Annie’s Tea Room. Recently, I walked from Teignmouth to Dawlish, and, needing to find some fuel, I entered the tea house looking rather sweaty and disheveled. Most of the clientele were a lot better dressed, but I was welcomed warmly by the friendly staff and offered ...
Dawlish Lawn is on the other side of the water, and it acts as a focal point for the town. It’s a pleasant place to have a picnic or relax in warm weather! On the second Sunday of every month, the lawn accommodates the Dawlish Farmer’s Market, which sells produce from nearby Devonshire farms.
Dawlish Museumis a history museum detailing the history of the town. It’s actually a fairly big exhibition, spanning over three floors and 11 rooms! It’s known for having D-Day bagpipes, a historic kitchen and an exhibition about the Great Storm of Dawlish in 2014. It costs £2 for adult and £1 for child entry.
This small amusements arcade is located just to the east of Dawlish Lawn. It’s a small arcade with a few games, suitable for both adults and children.
Safari adventure golf is a crazy golf circuit right in the middle of town. As the name suggests, it is safari themed, with lions and giraffes dotted around the 12-hole course. Ideal for a family trip to Dawlish or date night with a difference, this circuit is fun and easy to access!
Dawlish Warren Beach is famous for its golden sands and safe swimming waters – it’s actually one of Devon’s blue flag beaches. This beach is immensely popular in the summer season, so I wouldn’t recommend coming here on a scorching hot day or in the school holidays – stick to Dawlish town beach, where it’s usually much quieter. However, it’s gorgeo...
Spanning over 550 acres, Dawlish Warren Nature Reserveis an expanse of grassland and sand dunes behind the beach. The nature reserve is home to around 23,000 birds and wildfowl each year. There’s a bird hide that is perfect for birdwatching, although it’s important to be mindful of the creatures in the area. There are also lots of wildflowers in th...
