Seaton Bay on Devon's Jurassic Coast

Set inside Lyme Bay on the Devon Coast is the picturesque Seaton Bay with its mile long shingle beach. The coastal resort of Seaton, a gateway town to the Jurassic Coast is in the centre of the bay with the estuary of the River Axe at its eastern end.

Seaton is a traditional Devon seaside town in the midst of an area of outstanding natural beauty midway between Lyme Regis and Sidmouth.

The mile long pebble beach is gently sloping and safe to swim from, with the pebbles being small to medium in size.

At the top of the beach is the Esplanade, a flat paved walk 1,160 metres in length stretching from Axmouth Harbour at the eastern end of the bay to the Chine, near Seaton Hole towards the western end.
