Seaton Cottages by the Sea

Seaton’s Seafront, Jurassic Coast and Places to Explore

Seaton has a mile-long pebble beach, a flat promenade and a town centre with independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Its beach cottages and coastal holiday homes include apartments overlooking Lyme Bay and traditional cottages close to the waterfront. The town is surrounded by countryside, with the South West Coast Path and Seaton Wetlands both nearby.

Seaton Beach, Lyme Bay and Coastal Walks

Seaton Beach stretches for over a mile between Axmouth Harbour and the cliffs at Seaton Hole. The promenade has seating, cafés and public toilets, with views along the Jurassic Coast.

The South West Coast Path leads west towards Beer, passing over the chalk cliffs of Beer Head. This neighbouring fishing village has a sheltered shingle beach where colourful fishing boats are pulled onto the shore. Visitors wanting to stay in the village itself will find a selection of cottages near Beer Beach.

East of Seaton, the coastline continues towards Lyme Regis, known for its historic Cobb harbour, beaches and fossil-hunting opportunities.

Seaton Tramway, Wetlands and Nearby Attractions

Seaton Tramway runs for three miles through the Axe Valley, connecting Seaton with Colyford and Colyton. The heritage trams pass through countryside and nature reserves, making this one of the town’s main attractions.

Seaton Wetlands has nearly four kilometres of level walking trails and boardwalks through marshland and reedbeds beside the River Axe. The reserve has birdwatching hides where visitors can look for wading birds and other wildlife.

Lyme Regis is a short drive east across the Devon border, with independent shops, waterfront restaurants and the historic Cobb. Our Lyme Regis beach cottages include properties close to the seafront and harbour.
