Dawlish Town Beach stretches for over a mile between Langstone Rock and Lea Mount. The beach, a mixture of sand and shingle lying in a secluded bay, is very popular for bathing. Summer temperatures often reach 30 Celsius. Pleasure boat trips around the bay are available during the summer season. Food and drink is available from a kiosk at the beach and near shops. On top of the sea wall, which holds the winter sea back from invading the town, lies a wide foot path taking you the entire length of the beach to Dawlish Warren The walk along the sea wall is pleasant and scenic with cliffs exposing red rock formed in Precambrian times and eroded over time by the changing sea levels.
	Dogs are permitted along the seashore from the slipway adjacent to the Railway Station until 230 metres before Red Rock at Dawlish Warren.
