Once known as Gentleman's Cove, Coryton Cove lays nestled in between the magnificent red cliffs of Dawlish. Ideal for families and those wanting to escape from the madding crowd.

Within easy walking distance from the town, there are lots of rock pools to explore, watch the seabirds dive for fish and catch your own mackerel from the breakwater. If you're really lucky the occasional sightings of Dolphins have been seen.


A mix of shingle and sand, the beach gently slopes towards the sea.

This beach is not patrolled by Lifeguards.
