Welcome to Dawlish Warren!

Our family beach resort has a lovely "Blue Flag" beach backed by sand dunes and small lakes, a haven for a great variety of wildlife - this is the world acclaimed National Nature Reserve. The Warren beach stretches for miles to reach the Exe estuary in one direction and Dawlish Town in the other.

Thanks to the BBC you can see the beach in a "panoramic view " here.

A perfect place for seaside fun, the beach is great for families to enjoy playing in the water knowing that the experienced lifeguards are keeping an eye on safety. During the summer there are many free open-air events, children's entertainers and spectacular firework displays.

Don't take our word for it! Come and experience a truly British Beach Holiday - you will be most welcome and all at Dawlish Warren will be delighted to serve you.

Don't forget to visit Dawlish. This delightful part Victorian and part Georgian seaside town has a lovely park, known locally as "The Lawn", with an avenue of trees, blooming flowers, exotic plants and a brook leading to the sea. At night a multitude of "fairy lights" illuminate the Lawn and brook area - truly magical! Along with all the other waterfowl, the legendary black swans that make their home on the brook are always a talking point with locals and visitors alike. The Town Council has a very helpful website.

Carnival week is the highlight of a very busy season of free entertainment on and around the Lawn. Taking place in the middle of August the finale is the Grand Procession through the winding streets - don't miss it, it's a spectacle!

Note that the 2015 Airshow is on Saturday 22nd August.

You can walk to Dawlish Warren along the Sea Wall - if the tide is very high you might get wet feet so check the tide time before leaving!
