Teignmouth has been a popular seaside resort since Regency times with wide sandy beaches and a Victorian pier. Across the River Teign lies the picturesque Georgian village of Shaldon, 1¼ miles from the station over the bridge, by bus (see Labrador Bay below) or by passenger ferry. Teignmouth is pronounced 'Tin-muth'.
