About

Teignmouth South sits at the mouth of the River Teign within Teignbridge, where the river meets the English Channel. The shoreline here includes the town harbour and a long seafront promenade with a railway line that runs close to the shore. At low tide a broad expanse of sand and a shifting sandbar appear across the channel, and the harbour dries to reveal moorings and boatyards used by local fishing and leisure craft. Streets slope up from the coast into residential areas with terraces and semi-detached homes, and the town centre with shops and cafes lies within easy walking distance.

Local services include a community centre, primary schools, and regular bus links that connect with other parts of Teignbridge. Teignmouth railway station is nearby, providing rail services along the coast. The area shows a mix of long-established marine trades and newer small businesses, and seasonal changes in sea level and river channel position affect beach access and boat movement on a daily basis.
