@Daverc - thanks......
There is a thread now running on Eyes of Dawlish concerning Shell Cove beach. If you can access the thread have a read. Seems there is now a dispute brewing over whether or not Shell Cove beach is privately owned like the footpath access to it across Shell Cove House grounds.
