Today's wonderful images of the Exe estuary at Topsham, Dawlish Warren, Holcombe, Shaldon Ness, and Exmouth's Orcombe Point, wind up our special Devon beaches from the air series.The Exe estuary is a magnificent area enjoyed by a huge variety of visitors and local people, as well as wildlife.
It provides a valuable setting for activities such as walking, boating, fishing and bird-watching.
Dawlish Warren beach is smooth and sandy with patches of grass banks in dunes further inland. The terrain can often provide shelter for bathers during the hot season when the weather hits its peaks.
