Dawlish Warren Beach

A remarkable spit of sand and dune system extending into the Exe Estuary, Dawlish Warren is both a nationally important nature reserve and a popular family beach destination. The main beach offers safe swimming, colorful beach huts, and traditional seaside amusements, while the warren itself provides a fascinating landscape of shifting sands and rare wildlife habitats. Birdwatchers flock here to spot migrant species, while families enjoy the unique experience of having both sea and estuary waters within walking distance, each offering different conditions for swimming and water sports.
