Teignmouth, Devon · TQ14 8SY

Teignmouth's long town beach by the pier, where the pebbly stretches yield large, well-frosted pale blue and white glass.

About Teignmouth Beach

Teignmouth's main beach runs from the mouth of the River Teign towards Dawlish, past the Victorian pier. A collector who visited around five times reported a steady supply of glass on the pebblier parts.

Sea glass at Teignmouth Beach

About 40–50 pieces over roughly five visits, including some large pale blue and white/clear pieces, mostly well rounded and frosted. Look on the less sandy, more pebbly parts of the beach to the left of the pier.

Visiting Teignmouth Beach

Safety
Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
