Totnes to Slapton Taxi — Sands, Ley & Memorial
Beach days, nature reserve walks and history — 6-seater for groups and outdoor kit.
Reliable Slapton and Slapton Sands transfers
Book a Totnes to Slapton taxi with DW Cabs for one of South Devon’s longest shingle beaches, the freshwater ley and the Sherman tank memorial. We meet trains at the railway station at Totnes and run door-to-door to the village, car parks and trailheads.
The Ford Galaxy 6-seater suits families, swimmers and walkers. We load towels, wetsuits and picnic gear without splitting the group across two cars.
Why choose DW Cabs?
- Station pickups timed around GWR services at Totnes
- 6-seater for groups, beach kit and walking poles
- Local knowledge of summer traffic on the A379 and coast road
The drive from Totnes to Slapton
Most journeys follow the A381 toward Kingsbridge, then the A379 toward the coast. The last miles run along the bay; traffic can slow on sunny weekends.
We build realistic time into your pickup. School holidays and bank holidays add pressure near the beach — share your arrival time when you book.
Beesands, Torcross and Dartmouth day trips
Many visitors pair Slapton with Beesands and Start Bay seafood. Day trips from Dartmouth and the river are common — ask for a return window after your walk.
Heading inland, Kingsbridge at the head of the estuary works well for shopping and connections.
When it gets busy — and how to book
Bank holidays and heatwave weekends fill the car park early. A pre-booked taxi avoids turning in tight lanes with a full car.
Tell us your train arrival at Totnes if you connect from Exeter or beyond. We allow slack for delays and a slow walk to the pickup point.
