The spit at Dawlish Warren is approximately 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) long. It serves as a natural barrier between the Exe Estuary and the English Channel, creating a unique environment for wildlife. The spit is composed of sand and shingle, and its width varies, providing a range of habitats for various species. It is a popular destination for visitors and nature enthusiasts.
Dawlish Warren was formed through a combination of coastal processes such as longshore drift and sediment deposition. Over time, sand and sediment were brought by tides and currents, gradually building up the spit that now defines Dawlish Warren. Human interventions, such as stabilizing the area with groynes and sea walls, have also influenced its formation.
Dawlish Warren railway station was created in 1912.
Longshore drift moves sediment along the beach which lengthens the sand spit. Groynes have been put in place to try and reduce the effects of longshore drift.
