The Marine

The Marine stands on Marine Parade in Dawlish, directly on the seafront where the town meets the water. The building has recently been fully refurbished and reopened, with the interior stripped back and rebuilt to create a fresh pub, restaurant and rooms in the same long-standing seafront position.

Step outside and the beach is only a short walk away, along with the black swans on the Brook and the South West Coast Path. The location makes it a straightforward stop for anyone exploring the town or walking the coast, whether for a meal or an overnight stay.

Food is served both in a dedicated restaurant area and as more informal pub meals. The kitchen concentrates on seasonal, coastal-inspired dishes prepared properly, offering a practical choice of plates that suit a longer meal or a simpler stop after time outdoors

Honest pints and a standard range of drinks sit alongside the food offering, keeping the focus on everyday coastal dining rather than elaborate tasting menus.

Two rooms are available for overnight guests. Both are freshly renovated and sit right on the seafront, with sea views. The combination of a meal downstairs and a room upstairs gives visitors a simple base without needing to leave the seafront.

The overall feel is that of a practical, recently refreshed coastal pub rather than a formal hotel or destination restaurant. It suits day visitors looking for a meal with an easy walk to the beach, as well as those who want to stay the night without moving far from the water. Tables and rooms can be reserved through the website when required.

For anyone staying in or passing through Dawlish, The Marine provides a direct option on the seafront: recently reopened after a full refurbishment, with both restaurant and pub dining plus two rooms only steps from the beach and the coast path.
