Out and about

Exmouth is located where the River Exe flows into the English Channel, framing the town with a fantastic view of the coast. The two-mile long Exmouth Beach is perfect for a beach day when the sun is shining. This is the longest seafront in Devon and Cornwall, meaning sufficient space to relax is guaranteed. In east Exmouth, Sandy Bay Beach is a fantastic windsurfing spot. This area of the coast also has a clifftop walk, where there are striking views of the Channel.

A half-an-hour walk along the cliffs overlooking Exmouth Beach takes you to Orocombe Point, where a sculpture called the Geoneedle marks the most westerly point of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage coastline. The flora in this area makes it a hotspot for lots of species of butterflies. Stop at Bumble and Sea when making this walk for a coffee or ice-cream break before reaching Orocombe.

The Exe Estuary trail is ideal for travelers wanting an accessible and scenic walking excursion. The route is mostly flat and there are both walking and cycling paths that lead to a wildlife reserve surrounded by marshes in the Estuary. This area is often bustling with birdlife, ideal for birdwatchers to catch a glimpse of Exmouth’s feathered residents!

In town, there is a range of shops to purchase a souvenir or a gift. Exmouth Market contains over 30 stores and is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, catering to all tastes and needs. In the evening, a show can be enjoyed at the Exmouth Pavilion, coupled with a meal in the Pavilion Café. Shows being hosted can range from pantomimes to comedy shows and musicals.

This two-hour walking route leads families through the town, looking for clues posted on historic landmarks to find the treasure. The route leads straight to the seafront, where a picnic on the beach would be the perfect reward at the end.

Another exciting outing is Exmouth’s Dinosaur Trail, where life-size models of dinosaurs can be spotted along the walk. Brass rubbings can be collected along the way, providing special keepsakes for the children. The route provides the opportunity to embrace the outdoors and the Jurassic coast location in a way that keeps the children entertained.

Dining ideas

Being a seaside town, there is no shortage of fish and chip shops. Rockfish and Harbour View Café and Chip Shop are located on the beach, where a traditional meal can be enjoyed with a view. The Proper Fish and Chips Co is an alternative choice, located in town and is highly rated by customers.

There is an assortment of cafés where you can enjoy an informal meal. South Beach Café overlooks Sandy Bay and has a relaxed atmosphere coupled with a beautiful coastal view, serving meals containing locally caught fish. The Point Bar and Grill is situated in Exmouth Quay, so diners can watch the hustle-and-bustle of the marina whilst enjoying food sourced by Devon-owned farms.
