Valentine's Day in Teignmouth

Why Teignmouth is the perfect place to celebrate Valentine’s

January 26, 2023

If you're looking for that perfect romantic break, you can't get much better than Teignmouth. Watch the sunrise (at a respectable hour), take a walk along the beachfront, explore the quirky shops in the Arts quarter, watch the sunset with a drink at one of the back beach pubs and enjoy dinner in an intimate restaurant.

Here are some suggestions on how to make the most of Valentine's in and around Teignmouth.

Where to watch the sunrise and sunset

With its east-facing front beach and west-facing back beach, Teignmouth is perfectly placed to catch the perfect sunrise or sunset. Head to the main beach and walk along the seawall towards the Teignmouth 'Letters' to watch the sunrise over the sea. Or if you'd prefer a lie-in and leisurely breakfast, opt for watching the sunset from the river beach. Wrap up warm and enjoy a drink outside the Ship Inn and wonder in the amazing colours as the sun sinks over Dartmoor, casting beautiful shades of red and pink over the boats bobbing on the River Teign.

Eating out

With its candlelit atmosphere and amazing cocktails, local Tapas bar the Lobster Lounge is perfect for Valentine's. And musician Ollie Stephens will add more of a romantic vibe to your evening with a special Valentine's set to accompany your meal on Tuesday 14th February. Booking ahead is definitely advised.
There's more live music at the Bucket & Spade, based at the Coast View Holiday Park in Shaldon. Local artist Anaïs X will be playing while you enjoy four courses of dinner. The event takes place on Tuesday 14th February. The £35 set price also includes a glass of bubbly. Bookings can be made online or by phoning them on 01626 818450.
Oystercatchers Cafe, which is just round the corner from Brunswick House, is holding a Valentine's evening between 5:30pm and 9pm. There'll be a variety of main courses and desserts including vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. The cafe is licensed so you'll be able to enjoy a glass or two of the good stuff with your meal. You'll need to book in advance by calling 01626 776652
