The coast at Dawlish

Beach hut hire
in Dawlish

Your little base for a big beach day.

Dawlish has a seaside feel all its own. Trains on the seawall, a long beach walk, red cliffs in the distance and beach huts that add a bit of colour without trying too hard. It is one of those towns where the journey along the front is half the appeal.

A mix of long-term huts and seasonal short-stay hire nearby

Dawlish is a little mixed on rental style. Teignbridge lists long-term hut leases at Dawlish and Coryton Cove, while short-stay daily or weekly hire is easiest to find in the wider Dawlish area, especially at Dawlish Warren. In practice, it works best for people happy to be flexible about exact beach and booking pattern.

Find your kind of Dawlish.

The two names that matter are Dawlish Town Beach and Coryton Cove. The main beach feels broader and more open, with the railway and town close by. Coryton Cove is smaller, more sheltered in feel and the prettier of the two if you like your beach days a little less busy.

A classic Devon beach town with trains, sea views and colourful huts

Dawlish has one of the most distinctive seafronts in Devon. The railway runs right by the sea, the beach stretches away towards Red Rock, and the whole place feels like a proper old coast town rather than a polished resort designed by committee. People either love the trains immediately or spend the day pretending they are too grown-up to care and then end up watching them anyway.

Coryton Cove gives Dawlish a slightly softer side, with its row of huts and more tucked-away feel, while the main town beach is broader and more open. Together they give the place real range. Busy if you want it. Quieter if you don't.

A little planning. A better beach day.

Facilities, access & local beach rules

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.

Dogs on the beach

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.
