Gales Hill

Gales Hill is a public boat-launching site on the River Teign at Teignmouth, Devon, situated immediately downriver from the dock complex.

Launching is via the beach rather than a dedicated concrete slipway, and the site is suitable for craft up to approximately 20 feet. According to an older source, it is accessible at all states of tide, though the ramp gives access to the beach only.

A car park is located opposite the site. Compared to Teignmouth's main launch facility at Polly Steps, Gales Hill offers more limited facilities.

Watercraft using the River Teign are required to complete a Watercraft Registration form with the harbour authority.
