Dawlish Town beach

What can be said about a Seaside town in South Devon? Well, it's simply a seaside town located in South Devon. There are only two distinctive features that set it apart from other towns - the Railway that runs through it and the presence of four black Swans. Apart from that, there isn't much else to mention as it's all pretty similar. Oh, and we can't forget to mention the Only Gay in the Village - Gays Creamery, which is definitely worth a visit. However, it has transformed from a local shop that sold incredibly delicious food to an overly commercialized establishment that still serves great food, but has lost some of its original charm. It's become a bit cheesy, if you will. In terms of amenities, there are a few Pubs, arcades, small convenience shops, and a handful of antique shops up the hill. But that's about it. You can easily explore everything the town has to offer within three hours, including grabbing a pie from Gays. Now, let's talk about the beach. It has a sandy and pebbly shoreline, stretching out quite a distance. The crashing waves often turn the water a reddish hue due to the sand. The beach also offers a picturesque backdrop of the coastal path and the railway. If you bring your kids along, roll up your trousers, put on a knotted hanky as a headgear, and enjoy a beer like Bass Trade Mark No1, you'll have a perfectly enjoyable day.
