Ever since I can remember taking holidays at Dawlish Warren and the surrounding area the beach is Sandy very clean and in some cases weather wind dependant sheltered by the sea wall or the rock outcrop at Langstone. Popular beach and sea wall walk to Dawlish around 20 minutes stroll. Warren end shops cafe bar pub toilets and gaming arcade plus speedway all very popular as well. Car parking here can I’d say be a bit of a Devon council cash cow the price of parking that is .... but if your fortune is in luck there may be the odd free space to the left of the fish shop up the station approach room for around six cars.

We arranged a visit here for a friends 30th birthday to go quad biking. It was so so much fun. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and Alex the instructor was great fun. We were a group of 5 girls and that didn’t stop us getting covered in mud and going through huge ditches full of water. Highly recommend and will hopefully return again soon!

Wonderful place we stopped in Dawlish Warren and the walk into Dawlish takes about 45 minutes and the path is between the sea and the railway line. There are lots of little shops and cafes and pubs in Dawlish. In the Warren there are several pubs and a nature reserve there is also a little funfair and a couple of shops and an arcade. The beach is sandy and slopes to the sea the views are lovely across the estuary to Exmouth.
5. Dawlish Town Trail
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 97 reviews
This South West Coast Path walk starts and ends at Dawlish Railway Station and takes in both the development of Dawlish since the 1800s as well as the attractive Old Town. The route is generally flat and undemanding along pavements or tarmac footpaths. Where there are no pavements, any roads walked on are quiet and usually traffic free.

We were a family of 6 2 teenagers , mum & dad and 2 grandmas This is a lovely little place for the family to have a gentle wander around for a couple of hours. Lots of little shops , small eateries and tea shops for the cream tea !!! Gays creamery is a must see and the old water mill tea house You can’t miss the black swans in the village , they are used to being fed !! Beach lies at the bottom of the trail Great for walking the dog (out of season)
