- Dawlish has three beaches: the main beach, Coryton Cove, and Boat Cove. The main beach runs along the edge of the town. Dawlish Warren also boasts a wonderful beach - it's around a mile and a half along the coast, and can be reached by walking along the sea wall.
- The railway line hugs the sea wall all the way along the coast, making a train journey one of the most scenic in Britain.
- Waves regularly crash onto the sea wall at high tide, and trains are often hit by seawater.
- The tranquil lawns at Dawlish overlook the outlook of a small river, Dawlish Water, locally known as the Brook.
- The sea wall with the tide going out.
- Views from the main beach towards Teignmouth.
