Teignmouth Back Beach

Teignmouth Back Beach sits on the seaward side of the town, offering a long stretch of sand and pebble that's less commercialised than the main town beach. The location provides excellent views across Lyme Bay while maintaining easy access to town facilities. The railway line runs close behind, adding character with regular steam trains during summer months on the heritage Dartmouth line. Dog policies follow standard East Devon patterns with seasonal restrictions, though specific arrangements should be checked locally. The beach's length and less touristy nature make it popular with dog walkers seeking space away from crowds. The connection to the South West Coast Path provides excellent walking opportunities. Access is via Teignmouth town with various parking options, though spaces can be limited during peak periods. The proximity to the mainline railway station makes it accessible without a car. Local facilities include traditional seaside amenities, while the working port adds authentic character. The beach provides excellent fishing opportunities and connects to interesting geological features along the red sandstone cliffs.
