The Seaside Resort of Dawlish

In South Devon the pleasant seaside resort of Dawlish is very popular with visitors, many of whom return year after year to enjoy the nice atmosphere that the town has to offer.

Despite the wealth of attractions and scenic beauty on offer, Cornwall has many affordable hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses to suit the budgets of all holidaymakers.

Dawlish is a nice place to drive to because the scenic countryside suddenly explodes into a panorama of cliffs and roads that run along the coast.

Here are just a few of the many attractive features of Dawlish:

• In the heart of the town is colourful Dawlish Park, peppered with many varieties of plantlife including bright flowers, palms and even giant cacti.
• A good quality sand beaches and (Coryton) cove.
• An interesting variety of sea-birds including the rare black swan.
• The "night lights" which turn Dawlish into a beautiful evening coastal town perfect for summer strolls and al-fresco dining.
• Carnival week (August) offers various free entertainment programs and processions.

Close to Dawlish is "Dawlish Warren" - a seaside town that is believed to have one of the best five beaches within the United Kingdom (it has received the European Blue Flag Award). Aside from a great beach, Dalwish Warren has plenty to offer wildlife enthusiasts - being located in a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) the area attracts many wildfowl and wading birds. The area is also home to over 600 types of flora.
