About Teignmouth Beach
Surf Life Saving Club
Teignmouth boasts a long beach that stretches from the mouth of the River Teign down towards Holcombe.
It is a popular beach for a variety of beach users and water sports. Whilst it is a safe beach, we also recommend you swim between the red and yellow flags which have lifeguards on duty.
Following a tragic local drowning in 1985, the Teignmouth Beach Surf Life Saving Club (TBSLSC) was formed to train local people in beach safety and surf rescue.
TBSLSC-qualified coaches teach water safety, first aid, lifeguard and rescue boat to its more than 200 members of all ages starting from 8 years old.
Adult members also undertake voluntary beach patrols and provide water safety cover
The club has provided voluntary lifeguard services on the beach and at major events for many years and its members can be credited with saving many lives.
