Of the town or streets of Teignmouth, not much can be said in praise of their width or regularity; but with the fine and extensive Esplanade or Den, and beautiful open beach, no watering place in the west can vie. The beach is composed of fine sand, which is firm to the feet, affording capabilities and excellencies for the best sea bathing, and can be taken at any state of tide.
