Amenities
Summary
A small shingle and sand cove on the Devon coast south of Dawlish, with red sandstone cliffs, rock pools, and direct access from the coastal path — filmed at by Devon Reddit users for nature and outdoor content.
About this location
Coryton Cove is a small sheltered bay on the South Devon coast, tucked between red sandstone headlands just south of Dawlish town. The beach combines shingle with sand patches at low tide, flanked by low red cliffs with rock pool zones at the base. The South Devon Railway line runs along the clifftop above — a distinctive element that frames the cove in a specific South Devon way. Reddit posts from Devon users document the cove as a rockpooling and outdoor filming location, with videos shot there for nature content. For film and television, the cove offers a compact, sheltered beach setting with red sandstone geology that reads as distinctly South Devon — a different character from the grey flint and chalk of the south-east or the harder granite of Cornwall. The Dawlish seafront above is accessible for additional coastal coverage. Access is on foot from Dawlish or by coastal path; parking is in Dawlish town. Teignbridge District Council manages coastal permits.
