Teignmouth beach itself is a long one, so you don’t need to worry about the crowds, even during the summer. It stretches down from the mouth of the River Teign along the red cliffs which stretch toward Dawlish.
The beach is overlooked by an impressive Victorian Pier and nearby you will find a play park, crazy golf, skate park, green, ice cream huts and parade, Teignmouth beach is one of those beaches that will take you back to your childhood.
Teignmouth is also a dog-friendly beach during the winter months, so you can even bring the dog along for an out of season break.
If you get fed up of just kicking back and relaxing, the town has a wide range of shops from Fish and Chips to souvenirs or you could catch the passenger ferry across the water to the village of Shaldon.
If you’re feeling thirsty or the kids need re-fuelling, there’s plenty of local cafés serving drinks and light bites and there are nearby toilets so you don’t get caught short.
Dog friendly
There may be extra requirements to keep dogs on short leads or only allowed within certain areas. Please check with the location before travelling.
