Dawlish is a town and civil parish in Teignbridge on the south coast of Devon in England, 12 miles (19 kilometres) from the county town of Exeter. It had a permanent resident population of 12819 at the time of the 2001 Census, which reduced to 11312 at the 2011 census. During the course of the 18th century, it grew from a little fishing port to come to be a well-known seaside resort. Dawlish is situated at the outlet of a small river, Dawlish Water, in between Permian red sandstone cliffs, and is fronted by a sandy beach with the South Devon Railway sea wall and the Riviera Line railway above. Behind this is a main public park, The Lawn, through which Dawlish Water flows. Immediately to the south-west of Dawlish is a headland, Lea Mount, with Boat Cove at its foot and Coryton Cove, the outermost part of the beach accessible by the seawall path, behind it. To the north-east, by means of the beach or seawall, the coast can be followed some 2 km to Langstone Rock and the resort of Dawlish Warren beyond, although this track is blocked at severe high water. Dawlish is also known for its black swans (Cygnus atratus), introduced from Western Australia, which live with other unusual waterfowl in a modest urban sanctuary on Dawlish Water. Dawlish train station is situated in the town centre next to the beach. It is served by trains to a lot of stations in Devon, and to London and further afield. The line is noted as one of the most outstanding stretches of track in Britain for its natural appeal.
