Dawlish Sands Holiday Park is a classic family seaside destination located just a few minutes’ walk from the sandy shores of Dawlish Warren Beach. With its fun-filled atmosphere, spacious grounds, and full line-up of entertainment, it’s a fantastic base for families with children looking to enjoy both Devon’s coast and its countryside attractions.
The park is fully geared towards families, offering both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a large amusement arcade, a children’s play area, and a lively entertainment venue with shows, games, and family-focused events. There’s a clubhouse serving food and drink, plus a convenience store and launderette for added ease during your stay.
Accommodation includes a wide range of static caravans, from affordable options to more modern family units. There are pet-friendly options available, and the park layout is compact enough to make it easy to get around with children in tow. You’re also close to all the amenities of Dawlish Warren — including the nature reserve, beach train, amusements, and cafés.
One of the biggest draws for families staying here is that Pennywell Farm is just a 30-minute drive away. It’s one of Devon’s top attractions for kids, offering a full day of piglet cuddles, tractor rides, animal shows, soft play, and hands-on farm fun. Combining the beach with a day at Pennywell gives families the perfect balance of coastal play and countryside adventure.
For affordable, action-packed family holidays by the sea — with easy access to Devon’s best child-friendly days out — Dawlish Sands is a tried-and-true favourite.
