Located down a side street just off the main sea front. The Ship has an outside drinking area backing onto the back beach overlooking the estuary towards Shaldon, with views west towards Haytor on Dartmoor. The start/end of the Templar Way, linking Haytor with Shaldon and Teignmouth is marked by a stone adjacent to the outside drinking area. Many a happy hour can be spent here watching dogs on the beach and boats bobbing about on the river. The back beach also plays host to several music events throughout the year including an annual music festival over the August Bank Holiday weekend. The pub has a good mix of locals and tourists, and can get busy at times. They host a pub quiz every Thursday evening. The staff are friendly and helpful. Bar snacks/meals are available at lunchtimes and evenings, and there is also an upstairs restaurant.
