Just west of the beach car park at Budleigh Salterton lies this Type 24 variant, beach defence, pillbox.  The box faces south-east (115 deg.).

[Map ref. SY 07210 82005]

The structure is quite overgrown and only two loopholes, now blocked, are visible.

A brick porch protected the entrance which is now blocked off.
