Your base: Dawlish Warren council hire hut

Dawlish Warren, Dawlish

This plan is not a reservation. Your booking confirmation contains your agreed hire and arrival details.

Getting there and the practical bits

Dawlish Town Beach has nearby toilets, disabled toilets and baby care, plus a refreshment kiosk and deckchair hire close to the seafront. The town centre and station are right there as well. Coryton Cove also has toilets and drinking water nearby, which matters more than people think when you are carrying beach kit.

Check the walking distance, steps and parking arrangements for your chosen hut. Facilities can have seasonal opening hours.

Bringing your dog

Dawlish is workable with a dog in summer, but not across every stretch. Dogs are allowed on the seashore from the railway-station slipway towards Red Rock, but they are not allowed from the slipway to Coryton Cove during the main season. So there are designated areas you can use in high season, but you do need to know which side of the seafront you are heading for.

Permission to bring a dog into the hut is separate from access to the beach. Ask the hut provider before booking.

Weather, tides and water

Check the latest forecast and tide times shortly before you travel. A forecast available today may not cover your planned visit.

Follow local lifeguard advice and beach safety signs. Tide predictions do not tell you whether it is safe to swim.

A little more to your day

Leave time for a walk, a picnic or something nearby. Check opening hours, access and any separate booking requirements.

Before you set off

• Pack sun protection, drinking water and layers.
