Local Tips

The Point Car Park Advantage: Head straight to The Point Car Park to park directly between the Front and Back beaches. It gives you immediate access to both shores without walking across town.
Tide Windows for the Back Beach: Always time your visits to the river side based on the Teignmouth Harbour Tide Tables. Low tide exposes massive sandbanks that are perfect for letting your dog run free and explore safely.
Shaldon Ferry Pooch Policy: The small foot ferry over to Shaldon is completely dog-friendly! You can hop on right from the Back Beach for a quick trip across the river with your pup.
