The port of Teignmouth lies at the mouth of the River Teign south of Exeter and is a lively seaside town. The town was one of Devons first seaside resorts its pebbly beach today is backed by lawns and gardens overlooked by Georgian and Victorian villas.
Teignmouth was primarily involved in the export of granite from its port in the estuary until its evolution as a thriving seaside resort.

The harbour is still bustling today with fishing boats and a ferry that takes you over the estuary to Shaldon on the opposite bank a quaint scaled down version of Teignmouth that is worth exploring.
You will find atmospheric pubs and restaurants around the alleys of Teignmouth and occasional live music to entertain you.
