So much fun for adults and children - we saw seals and had the most fantastic time along a breathtaking coastline! Really well organised and you can do as much or as little as you wish! Great family adventure.

Teignmouth Back Beach is a wonderful local community. Somewhere you can take a chair and spend the day watching the world go by. The Ship Inn for a pint, grab a snack from the Blue Hut or LJs Beach Hut! Hire a motor boat from Teign Boat Hire, crabbing off the Quay or hire Paddleboards and kayaks and learn to sail at Seasports South West or catch the Ferry to Shaldon for a pint at the Ferryboat Inn, and come back for a beautiful sunset over Dartmoor! Did I mention it’s also dog friendly all year round!!
