Dawlish tourist information
Part Victorian and part Georgian, and part older still, the seaside town of Dawlish has a special charm and character. At its heart is an attractive park with an avenue of mature chestnut trees, colourful flower beds, tall palms, giant cacti, and other exotic plants, all providing a perfect setting for a stream which cascades over a series of waterfalls all the way to the sea. The brook provides a home for black swans and many species of waterfowl. 'The Lawn' is a popular and safe environment for family games during the day, and at night hundreds of coloured lights transform it to a magical place for a summer evening stroll.
Dawlish is set on the edge of beautiful rolling countryside as it meets the impressive cliffs of the South Devon coastline. There are three beaches; Boat Cove, Coryton Cove and the main beach that stretches all the way to Dawlish Warren.
Dawlish is relaxing, but never sleepy! A packed programme of free entertainment and events are arranged on or around the bandstand throughout the summer. There are many shops, cafes, inns and restaurants in the town and its has a range of attractions including boat trips and fishing trips, a theatre, museum, obstacle golf, and art gallery. There is a swimming pool and mini-golf at the local leisure centre and a bowling green on the Lawn.
The well-stocked Information Centre is also on the Lawn.
