It's a wonderful time for children to play on the beach, build sandcastles, and paddle in the sea, while adults can relax and soak up the sunshine.

Booking popular beach-facing hotels well in advance is advisable to secure your preferred room.

What beach activities should we do in Dawlish?
The best beach activities to do in Dawlish centre around the main Dawlish Town Beach and the nearby sandy stretches.

Dawlish Town Beach is a shingle beach that becomes sandier at low tide, great for classic seaside fun. You can easily spend an afternoon here building sandcastles, paddling in the shallow waters, or simply relaxing on a deckchair. It's conveniently located right next to the town, meaning cafes, ice cream parlours, and shops are just a short stroll away for refreshments. Families with young children will find this beach particularly convenient due to its easy access and proximity to amenities.

For those looking for a bit more space, especially during peak times, a walk along the sea wall towards Dawlish Warren will lead you to a much larger sandy beach. Dawlish Warren Beach is known for its dunes and vast expanses of sand, making it ideal for longer walks, sunbathing, and exploring rock pools when the tide is out. It's also a popular spot for crabbing, which can be a fun activity for families.

Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately.

With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
