Promptly to the south-west of Dawlish is a headland, Lea Mount, with Boat Cove at its foot and also Coryton Cove, the outermost part of the beach easily accessible by the seawall course behind it. There is a food stand there. To the north-east, using the beach or seawall, the shore can be complied with for some 2 kilometres to Langstone Rock as well as the resort of Dawlish Warren beyond.
