Local Beaches
Sand between your toes, refreshing ice cream with 99 flakes and waves lapping at your feet, would it really be a holiday without visiting one of Devon’s golden beaches?
The Blue Flag beach at Dawlish Warren is backed by luscious sand dunes and small lakes, a haven for rare and exciting bird and wildlife. Interestingly, Dawlish Warren is also a world acclaimed National Nature Reserve.
With the Warren beach stretching it arms for miles up the coast to both the Exe Estuary and Dawlish Town, you’re guaranteed to find a peaceful spot in this sandy haven.
Local Beaches
Coryton Cove
A gentile stroll along from the town beach, keep an eye out for the distinctively coloured beach huts on the way... a secluded little spot only disturbed by the trains passing you by.
A 10 minute walk from Dawlish Town Beach by following the coast path, this is truly one of South Devon’s secluded little treasures. With rock pools to explore, not to mention the occasional Dolphin sighting! This little sandy hideaway also received the Seaside Award!
There is a car park or on-street parking in the town close to the beach.
No dogs May 1st to September 30th.
Dawlish Town Beach
A Gaye's ice cream in one hand, and a bucket and spade in the other... we all love to be beside the seaside!
Park up next to the train station or hop on the train at Starcross. Look across to the stunning red cliffs and soak up the views! Be sure to pop into Gaye’s Creamery on the way – the delightful ice cream is one of Dawlish’s best kept secrets – thank us later! If you ponder down towards Boat Cove and can muster enough breath to scale Lee Mount, you’ll be rewarded with epic views back across the town and shoreline.
A 7 minute drive from Cofton, or simply hop on the Number 2 bus towards Newton Abbot and ask for Dawlish Train Station.
Dawlish Warren Beach
Sand between the toes, a 99 flake and the sounds of the waves peacefully crumbling on the shore. Aaah heaven.
2017 has seen this iconic South Devon Blue Flag beach restored to it's former glory. Tonnes of fresh, golden sand has replenished the beach... this is definitely the hottest spot on the coast this summer!
Dawlish Warren beach stretches for miles to reach the Exe Estuary in one direction and Dawlish Town in the other. If you're feeling really energetic, wander through the nature reserve to get to the secluded back beach with Estuary views, however most stick to the glorious golden sands located near to the Amusements, Arcades, and Eateries which make Dawlish Warren the popular beach destination it is!
Exmouth Beach
Quite a drive away, but why would you travel by car when you can travel across the Estuary in style on the Starcross Ferry! A must do...
Exmouth Beach is well celebrated for its two miles of golden sand, rare on this coast and fascinating rock pools it's a paradise for children and adults alike. This is the ideal place to try your hand at watersports - be it Kite Surfing, Kayaking, standup paddleboarding or windsurfing. With this sandy expanse laying just across the Exe Estuary – what better excuse do you need for a quick jaunt on the Starcross Ferry!

I just want to say how impressed my fellow Motorhomers and Caravaners were with the welcome and service we received during our stay. Staff in the office were polite and helpful at all times. Scott the restaurant manager was most accommodating when I enquired about reserving space for 25 to 30 of us for lunch after a walk. The service in the restaurant was speedy the food hot and varied. We were very pleased with the standards. Staff in the restaurant were cheerful and polite and helped make our meal most enjoyable. We had such a good time that we will be returning again next year for our Xmas Rally.

We usually camp 3 times a year and hire a caravan after the Christmas break at Cofton, and will continue to do so. We thoroughly recommend staying there. Great for families or just the 2 of you.
