Dawlish railway station serves the seaside resort town of Dawlish, in Devon, England. It is on the Exeter to Plymouth line, 206 miles 7 chains (331.7 km) from London Paddington, via Box. The station is built on the sea wall, as is the railway line, and has often suffered from storm damage due its proximity to the sea. South of the station, the railway passes through five tunnels in the cliffs as it follows the coastline.
