Staying at Kanangra puts you within easy reach of sandy beaches, coastal walks, and the lively town centre — all just a 10-minute stroll away.
Beaches & Seafront
Teignmouth boasts two distinct beaches: the long sandy Town Beach with its Victorian pier, arcades, play park and seafront promenade, and the characterful Back Beach, where colourful fishing boats line the shore and sunsets paint the river in gold. Both are just a short walk from Kanangra, offering family fun or peaceful coastal strolls.

The town is packed with independent cafés, bistros, pubs and restaurants — many serving fresh local seafood and seasonal produce. From casual breakfasts on the promenade to evening dining with sea views, there’s something for every taste. The Arts Quarter adds a creative flair, with galleries, artisan shops and coffee spots perfect for browsing.
Culture & Entertainment
Teignmouth has a lively calendar of events including folk and jazz festivals, live music, and family activities throughout the year. The Pavilions Theatre hosts films and performances, while the town’s historic Georgian architecture and leafy parks make for lovely walks between venues.
Walks & Nature
From your doorstep you can pick up the South West Coast Path and explore miles of stunning coastal scenery. Stroll to nearby Shaldon, cross the water on the historic passenger ferry, or head inland to enjoy countryside walks. For nature lovers, Dartmoor National Park is also within easy reach.
