Beach was lovely but had to walk through the tacky part to get there. Was expecting something more appropriate with there being a nature reserve. Really disappointed.

Beautiful beach. I don't know what else to say it has sand and sea. It has got a few stones on before you get to the soft sand. Has steps down so not the best beach for people with mobiltiy issues.

The beach at Dawlish Warren stretches from the Exe estuary round the corner and into the English Channel towards Dawlish.
I visited in March and all the attractions were shut but I can imagine in high season it is a hive of activity. There is a car park which is pay and display and also there is a railway station with services from Exmouth via Exeter to Newton Abbott, Torquay and Paignton.
Although it was a windy day it was nice to enjoy the scenery and nature.

A lovely sandy beach with safe bathing. We walked for about a mile in a cold but exhilarating wind. I am sure it is very popular in the Summer. There is a holiday park close by and you can walk through the Dawlish Warren.

Day trip from Teignmouth to Dawlish on a lovely autumn day.
Managed to park on the street along the river.
Town centre didn’t look much and it was too hilly for my liking.
Train station right alongside beach.
Lots of dogs on the beach and it wasn’t very nice.
Crazy golf area and cafe to pass the time away looked ok.
Black swans are lovely to see and you can sit and have a picnic there or fish & chips if preferred.
Nice for the day but wouldn’t want to stay.

Great beach, lovely and clean. Nice place to have a paddle as the sand is quite soft. A gentle slop into the water so swimming would be ok to. No lifeguard on duty when we visited but think they are there in high season.

We didn't spend too long in Dawlish Warren, but the beach was lovely and very nice to have a paddle in. Beautiful coastline left and right.

What is cost for beach hut at dawlish warren for week
Mic L

Sorry for the delay in responding. There are a few beach huts there but I think at a premium and probably self owned. I have not needed to enquire but think at this time of year the season is about to end.

Are there any boats or paddle boards to hire?

Hi,
I don't think so, but I didn't look out for that.
I can recommend Saddles & Paddles, in Exeter, beautiful canoeing down the canal.

Hi read your review.

Hi, sorry, as we don't have a dog I didn't pay attention to that. But the beach was dog free, where we walked.
Are the train coaches ready for hire

Yes they are, I was talking to the guy working at the minigolf. They look quite cool too!

Is it easy to park with a motor home please? It’s not a massive vehicle, but normal car park spaces are usually a bit on the tight side.

Just after the tunnel to the beach carpark satellite view shows what looks like a refreshment kiosk or cafe on the left? Does anyone know if it is a cafe? If so what is it called?
(Thinking of meeting some friends there, who are breaking their train journey for a quick meet up.) Many thanks.

We met my wife's cousin in 'The Boat House' its a bar / restaurant a lot like wetherspoons. the food and service was really good, I did post pictures on my posting at the time.
How accessible and what are the facilities like for a wheelchair users?
Paul Nicholson

I'd say it's very good for wheelchair users, very flat, for food and shopping, plus watching the fun rides, but getting down to the beach I didn't pay attention.
