There is a fine promenade with sandy beaches, including a classic crescent of imposing Georgian buildings. There are boating opportunities on the estuary, and the "back beach" has a selection of pubs and restaurants in a superb marine setting. The town has a wide variety of independent shops and cafes, along with two supermarkets. There is also a modern theatre and a bowling club close to the sea front. Teignmouth has several primary schools, along with a well-regarded secondary school/Community College and Trinity School, being a private school offering both primary and secondary education. There is a mainline railway station offering a direct link to London Paddington in just over 2.5 hours. Higher Holcombe is just under four miles from the junction to the A380 via the B3192, making for quick access to the A38 and the M5, offering an easy commute to Exeter and beyond.
