Exmouth Beach
Exmouth Beach is a beach on England's south coast that stretches about two miles of soft, golden sand. The flat shore extends westward from the harbor area and is easy to access through several entry points with steps, slipways, and flat pathways.
The town grew up around its harbor and fishing trade, developing over centuries into a working port. Over time it transformed from an active trading center into a popular destination for visitors and locals seeking seaside leisure.
The beach is a place where locals and visitors spend time simply enjoying the sea and the coast. The waterfront with its shops and cafes serves as a meeting point where people walk, watch boats, and relax while taking in the views.
The beach is about 11 miles from Exeter and easily reached by car along the A376 road. Parking is available along the front and in large car parks such as Queens Drive, with toilets and food and drink vendors nearby.
The beach has flat rock pools filled with small sea creatures and shells that visitors can explore, especially at low tide. Children and adults enjoy watching these natural pools, which become fully submerged again at high tide and reshape the landscape.
