Hope has officially taken charge of breakfast operations 😂🐣 “Come on mummy, hurry up… I’m growing here!” 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #HopeTheCygnet #RosieAndBluey #DawlishWaterfowl #BlackSwans #CygnetWatch

This morning’s view had a bit of everything: choppy seas, a light wind, beautiful sunshine across the water, and an IET heading up towards London Paddington. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #DawlishSeaWall #GreatWesternRailway #CoastCams #DevonCoast

Dawlish sea wall looking beautiful this morning ☀️🌊 A bright, breezy start to the day by the sea. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #DawlishSeaWall #Exmouth #CoastCams #DevonCoast

These two photos show little Hope tucked safely between Rosie and Bluey, with mum and dad keeping close on either side. It’s such a simple scene, but it says everything. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? What do you see? 🐟🌅 This morning’s sunrise over Dawlish Beach came with its own little cloud show. Above the sun, the cloud looked like a flying fish… or maybe a scuba diving fish helicopter heading along the coast. #SunriseViews #CloudWatching

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a fish! 🐟🌅 This morning on Dawlish Beach, the sunrise came with a little extra entertainment in the clouds. What do you see in the clouds? 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #DawlishBeach #SunriseViews #CoastCams #DevonCoast

Langstone Rock sits right in the middle of the scene, with Dawlish Warren spit stretching out ahead, Exmouth over to the right, and the Exe Estuary opening up beautifully to the left. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #DawlishWarren #LangstoneRock #ExeEstuary #CoastCams #DevonCoast

Solstice sunrise from above Parson and Clerk this morning 🌅 Have you watched our video about Parson and Clerk yet? I’ll pop the link with this post, it’s well worth a watch if you love the stories behind our coastline. https://f.mtr.cool/dlmeowwqzk 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social

Boat Cove Breakwater just before sunrise 🌅 A quiet, colourful start from one of my favourite sunrise spots. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #BoatCove #SunriseViews #CoastCams #DevonCoast

Coryton Rock Pools at low tide this morning 🌅 This is one of those scenes where the colours all seem to work together beautifully. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #CorytonCove #RockPools #SummerSolstice #CoastCams

Coryton Cove, half an hour before sunrise on the summer solstice morning 🌅 This was taken from the far side of the beach, looking back across towards Dawlish and out towards Exmouth. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #CorytonCove #SummerSolstice #SunriseViews #CoastCams

Coryton Cove at 4:15 this morning 🌅 Still 45 minutes to go before sunrise, but the colours were already starting to glow across the sky. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #CorytonCove #SummerSolstice #SunriseViews #CoastCams

Boat Cove in Dawlish never disappoints 🌅 Whether it’s summer or winter, this little corner of the coast is always a beautiful spot for a photo. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #BoatCove #DawlishBeach #CoastCams #DevonCoast

Just after 4am on summer solstice morning, standing halfway up Lea Mount 🌅 There was still around an hour to go before sunrise, but Dawlish was already glowing. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #SummerSolstice #LeaMount #SunriseViews #CoastCams

First photo from this morning’s summer solstice wander 🌅 I was out on Dawlish Beach at 3:30am, with the whole beach to myself and still around 90 minutes to go before sunrise. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #SummerSolstice #DawlishBeach #SunriseViews #CoastCams

I can’t quite believe it’s been three years since the footbridge at Dawlish Railway Station was installed 🚆 A proper bit of Dawlish railway history, and one of those moments I’m very glad we were there to document. Well done Bam and Network Rail 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social

What a stunning start to the day. The sun was just lifting over the water, with Exmouth in the distance, the #Jurassiccoast ahead, and the new Dawlish sea wall and railway station catching that beautiful golden light to the left. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #DevonCoast

Behind the little waterfalls in Dawlish, there’s a surprising amount of food for the swans, and the moss clinging to the back of the weir seems to be an absolute culinary treat. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #BertAndKimba #DawlishWaterfowl #CygnetWatch #BlackSwans #BrookLife

A quiet little moment with one of Bert and Kimba’s cygnets this morning 🦢 I love the way the gentle flow of the brook has caught the reflection, almost as if the young swan is gliding along with a little shadow version of itself beneath. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #BertAndKimba

Someone is growing fast 🐣 This little cygnet is just over a week old now, and you can already see it starting to put on the weight. Still tiny. Still fluffy. Already acting like it owns the place. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #RosieAndBluey #CygnetWatch #DawlishWaterfowl #BlackSwans

Rosie and Bluey’s taxi service is officially open 😂🐣 Two of the little cygnets decided that swimming was optional this morning, and both opted for parent-powered travel instead. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social

Not every beach morning has to be blue skies and sunshine. Sometimes it’s the softer, quieter days that show off Dawlish at its best. A lovely start, even with a bit of rain in the air, but we do need it.  📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #DawlishBeach #CoastCams

The Golden Hind came down through Dawlish today… and what a sight it was 🚆💛 Running from Birmingham to Plymouth via Paddington, it was powered by the much-loved D1015 Western Champion, always a favourite when it appears along the sea wall. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social

The wait is nearly over… 👀🌊 Our Official Dawlish Calendar 2027 will be available to pre-order very soon! Keep your eyes peeled, pre-orders are opening soon! 📅💙 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #DawlishCalendar #DawlishBeach #CoastCams #BeachCamsMan #SouthDevon #Devon #VisitDevon

A beautiful start along the sea wall this morning, with the sun shining across the water and a local train making its way along one of the most iconic stretches of railway in the country. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #DawlishSeaWall #CoastCams #DevonCoast #RailwayMoments

A moody start on Dawlish Beach this morning, just after sunrise. 🌅 There was plenty of high cloud around, but it gave the sky that lovely soft texture, with just enough morning light breaking through over the sea. @BeachCamsMan #CoastCams #Dawlish #DawlishBeach

This was Dawlish sea wall just after first light today, with a thick blanket of cloud hanging overhead. The sun still found its way through though, lighting up with that warm glow over the land. 📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #SeaWall #SunriseUK #DevonCoast

What a show from the sea this morning 🌊 Definitely a morning to stand back, take it in, and respect the sea at work. 📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #SeaWall #StormySeas #SunriseMagic #CoastCams #DevonCoast #OceanPower #NatureAtItsBest

Four photos… and four very good reasons I didn’t take my usual route for a swim this morning 🌊😂 Safe to say, I gave it a miss and went the long way round 😄 @ BeachCamsMan #Dawlish #SeaWall #RoughSeas #MorningSwim #OceanPower #CoastCams #DevonCoast #OnlyInDawlish

When a wave hits at just the right angle, all that energy has nowhere else to go… so it goes straight up. And when the light catches it like this, it turns into something special. @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #SeaWall #CoastCams #WaveWatch #DevonCoast #SouthDevon #OceanPower

On the right, the sea was far from calm this morning, pushed around by those easterly winds. On the left, a train is racing along the famous Dawlish sea wall. But slow the world down… and everything changes. @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #SeaWall #LongExposure

The Sea Wall is now fully open between Dawlish and Dawlish Warren 🙌 One of the most scenic walks in the country is back, just in time for mornings like this. If you’re nearby, come down, take it all in, and enjoy the fresh sea air. #Dawlish #DawlishWarren #SeaWall

All five together this morning… and they’re starting to look like proper little chunks now 🐣💙 Five growing, healthy cygnets and some top-tier parenting on display 👏 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #BurtAndKimba #DawlishWaterfowl #CygnetWatch #BrookLife #NatureAtItsBest

There’s quite a strong easterly blowing at the moment, and the sea was anything but calm. Waves rolling in, plenty of movement, and that constant sound of water along the wall. 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #LongExposure #Seascape #EarlyMorning #CoastCams

We’re over in Plymouth scouting a potential new live camera location, and this was the scene across Plymouth Sound at first light. @tinsidelido sits proudly on the left, with Mount Batten stretching out on the right. 📷 @BeachCamsMan

We can only assume someone suggested it was time to leave the lawn… or worse… no more lettuce 🥬😄 The timing couldn’t have been better. Like father, like cygnets! 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #BurtAndKimba #DawlishWaterfowl #CygnetWatch #FunnyMoments #BrookLife

Day 2 on Bluey & Rosie’s nest… and it’s still just the one little cygnet for now 🐣 📸 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #BlueyAndRosie #CygnetWatch #DawlishWaterfowl #NatureMoments #CoastCams

Rosie and Bluey’s first cygnet has hatched, and this little one is only a few hours old.  With Easter just around the corner, it feels like perfect timing. A gentle reminder of new beginnings, right here on the brook 💛

This was the view this morning from Coastguards Bridge, with the sun lifting gently over a calm sea and the railway line stretching along the coast. No early alarms needed now, just a perfect excuse to ease into the day. 📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social

Taken up at Pocket Park, looking out over the railway and the sea as the sun quietly rose on the horizon. Calm water, soft light, and that familiar line of track hugging the coast… it never gets old. 📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #devonsunrise #dawlish #coastalbliss

A beautiful start to the day down at Coryton Cove this morning. If this is how the day starts, you know it’s going to be a good one. 📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #CorytonCove #Dawlish #SouthDevon #DevonCoast

A local GWR service heading along the sea wall towards Paignton, with that golden early light reflecting off the water. The sea was calm, the sky just clearing, and for a moment everything lined up perfectly. Not a bad commute if you ask me. 📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social

After a run of those bright, colourful sunrises, today brought a blanket of cloud stretching right across the sky. The light’s softer, the colours more muted, and the sea almost blends into the horizon. 📍 Dawlish 📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #BoatCove #SouthDevon #DevonCoast

Taken from Boat Cove, you’ve got Dawlish stretching away to the left, the sea sitting calm and glassy, and Exmouth just appearing through the mist on the horizon. The colours did all the talking…  📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social

This morning, just as the sun started to break through the clouds, a @GRhelp7 train came rolling along the sea wall. It was one of those “you’ve got seconds” moments… camera ready, quick dash into position… and somehow, just in time. 📍 Dawlish 📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish

This morning, the sunrise gently lit the sky while the sea stayed almost perfectly still. The breakwater stands firm, the red rock rests in silhouette, and everything feels calm… like the coast is just waking up at its own pace. 📍 Boat Cove 📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #BoatCove

This morning’s sunrise over Dawlish brought soft colour across the sky, calm water, and that familiar curve of the sea wall… and then right on cue, a GWR train quietly slipped into the scene, heading for Kennaway Tunnel. 📍 Dawlish 📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social  #Dawlish #SouthDevon

These photos were taken on 19th March, six years ago, during Phase One of the Dawlish sea wall upgrade. A big moment in Dawlish’s coastal history, and a reminder of the effort that’s gone into protecting this iconic stretch of railway. 📍 King’s Walk, Dawlish 📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social

Sunrise colours at Coryton Cove. This photo was taken on Saturday morning beside the beach huts at Coryton Cove, just as the first light of day began to spread across the sky. A beautiful way to start the morning. 📍 Coryton Cove, Dawlish 📷 @beachcamsman.bsky.social
