Teignmouth is a large seaside town, fishing port and civil parish in the English county of Devon, situated on the north bank of the estuary mouth of the River Teign about 12 miles south of Exeter. It had a population of 14,749 at the last census.
Teignmouth railway station, which opened in 1846, is close to the town centre. The line built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel runs along the South Devon Railway sea wall which is a stone embankment between the sea and cliffs that runs for several miles between Teignmouth and Dawlish Warren.
Teignmouth is linked to Shaldon, the village on the opposite bank, by a passenger ferry at the river mouth and by a road bridge further upstream. The red sandstone headland on the Shaldon side called "The Ness" is the most recognisable symbol of the town from the seaward side.
In 1894, there were 26 public houses in Teignmouth. Pubs today include the Blue Anchor Inn on Teign Street and the Devon Arms on Northumberland Place. The River Beach is home to a varied selection of seasonal and permanent beach huts, one of which (now removed to the town's museum) was a Georgian bathing machine, minus wheels. These huts have enjoyed the boom in popularity of such properties in recent years and now change hands for figures approaching £100,000.
Teignmouth and Shaldon museum was completed in 2011. Some of the exhibits include a restored bathing machine; artefacts from the Church Rock wreck, such as cannons; exhibits from the nearby Haldon aerodrome, plus film footage including the Beatles' visit to the town and the 2009 homecoming concerts by Muse.
The three members of rock band Muse (Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard) attended Teignmouth Community College in the early 1990s. They started the band in the town and based their song Falling Down on their teenage years living there. The band performed two homecoming concerts entitled A Seaside Rendezvous there in September 2009.
A skatepark was opened on Teignmouth seafront in July 2010 and flood defences at the Fish Quay were completed in October 2012. Although reduced from its heyday, Teignmouth still receives considerable numbers of holiday makers, in particular day-trippers.
Apart from its sea beach and Teignmouth Pier with amusement arcade and rides, the beach wraps around the spit at the head of the river Teign providing a river beach, commonly known as the Back Beach, on the estuary side which overlooks the harbour with its moorings for many pleasure craft, and has views up the estuary to Dartmoor. Teignmouth Pier was built in 1865. It measures 212 metres in length. A total of 89 piers were built in England and Wales between 1814 and 1910 of which only 50 are still standing. Initially, the pier was a landing stage; its purpose was to enable steamboat passengers to get to the shore.
The seafront benefits from Teignmouth Lido, a public open-air heated swimming pool. Teignmouth is home to the River Teign Rowing club, the largest rowing club in the UK with almost 400 members.
Teign Corinthian Yacht Club was founded in 1886, and organises racing and training for sailing dinghies, yachts and powerboats. It has two centres, a clubhouse on Teignmouth seafront built in 1995, and a dinghy park on the River Teign estuary at Coombe Cellars.
The port of Teignmouth, in existence since the 13th century, remains active, mostly handling clay, timber and grain.
