Dawlish Warren is the ultimate family seaside resort - built on a spit of sand with the Exe estuary on one side and the sea on the other with golden sands and clean bathing waters. It has all the attractions of a traditional holiday getaway but in an outstanding natural environment. Dawlish Warren has it's own train station meaning it's easily assessed from elsewhere in the country via Exeter, and it's makes a great base for further South Devon exploration.
