Dawlish Town Centre and Beaches
Coryton Cove Beach
|
Coryton Cove, formerly known as Gentleman's Cove, is a secluded beach of soft sand with the main railway line behind and high cliffs on the sides. Rock pools rich with sea life are just to the northeast, and to the southwest there are secret beaches that are only accessible from the sea through tunnels dug in to the cliffs. There have been many sightings of Dolphins off this beach. Besides the odd train going by, the beach is very peaceful and is ideal for relaxing or sunbathing. The natural sheltering also allows you to escape to the shade when the temperature gets too hot.

| The beach faces the early morning sun and stays sun drenched until evening with temperatures rising to 30 Celsius. This is possibly the best beach in the area. There are brightly coloured painted beach huts along the beach for hire. | ||
