Seaton
Set in a landscape of outstanding natural beauty, Seaton is the only gateway town to the Jurassic Coast, where rocks from all three geological periods can be viewed in their natural environment. Part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and overlooking Lyme Bay, Seaton beach is over a mile long and ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking and fishing.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside and home to the Seaton Wetlands Nature Reserve, the South West Coast Path runs alongside the stunning beach. A pedestrianised town centre full of independent shops and cafes, together with a thriving community events venue and the popular Seaton Tramway, means there is plenty to see and do!
Seaton
Beer
Deep in a winding valley amongst the cliffs with beautiful undulations, and against the craggy faces of which the ocean beats incessantly in vain, is the picturesque and ancient village of Beer. Beer is an almost hidden gem – from Seaton you can’t see it and approach from the East and you’re almost on top of Beer before you actually see it.
Beer has always been a small fishing village and remains so today. There is no port or harbour but its deep cove and good anchorage within the shelter of Beer Head makes it perfect for fishing. The Beer Head white cliffs stand at 426ft and are best viewed on the Beer to Branscombe walk, one of the best you can do on the Jurassic Coast and South West Coast path. You’ll often see the fishing boats on this walk as well as from the Garlands terrace and you can still buy fresh fish from the shack on Beer beach each day.
Beer Village
Sidmouth
