River BeachRiver Beach is found on the estuary side of Teignmouth, and is a beautifully nostalgic Teignmouth beach. River Beach is a little way out of town, but this makes it one of the most peaceful beaches in Teignmouth, and a great place to relax, walk or just admire its views. The beach’s estuary views are spectacular and stretch as far as Dartmoor on a clear day – so do take your camera if you visit this breathtaking Teignmouth beach. River Beach allows dogs throughout the year, and it has its own toilets, refreshments and parking. A ferry to Shaldon also operates from River Beach, so it’s a great base for a day trip.

Shaldon BeachShaldon is an idyllic village on the River Teign, and shouldn’t be overlooked when choosing a beach in Teignmouth!

The actual beach is a mix of sand and shingle, and includes toilets and its own car park. The passenger ferry that operates between Shaldon and Teignmouth is England’s oldest, so Shaldon Beach is worth visiting just to say you’ve been aboard!
