5.0 based on 175 reviews
A 4 mile moderate ramble along the South West Coast Path through the Hooken Undercliff, where a dramatic landslip in 1790 provides a haven for wildlife. Returning along the clifftops above, where there are spectacular views in either direction of red cliffs soaring beyond the white, the walk links the villages of Beer and Branscombe.

One of our favourite walks. For younger children, best to leave a car in the car park at Branscombe for return to Beer if you can.

Guided tours of vast underground caverns started by the Romans, which provided Beer stone used in 24 Cathedrals, Westminster Abbey, Tower of London, and many other historic buildings. See for yourself where and how the stone was quarried, the appalling working conditions and dangers faced by the work force,some as young as 8 years old. See too, the site of the secret Catholic Chapel and where smugglers hid their contraband. 2000 years of heritage brought vividly to life

Had a great tour of Beer quarry and caves, we have been before when the kids were younger, and returned this year. Excellent way to spend an hour below ground, very informative and knowledgeable tour guide, whitty, and some fascinating local stories that draw you right in. Temperature is around 7° so you need a coat or jumper and sensible footwear, hard hat is supplied, and cleaned with Covid in mind. Nice little cafe for a coffee, and portaloo toilets In the car park. Overall this is a brilliant tour for young and old. Love this place.

Love visiting Seaton Wetlands. Easy location to find with parking being at Seaton cemetery. Ample parking but it is more of a pebble car park. Reach the Wetlands by the entrance at bottom left of car park. Initial path is more of a track but on on wetlands it is tarmac path. Has four hides spread out over the site. First one just turn right through the gate and go down the side of lake to reach the hide. You do have to go up about 25 steps to get in though. Overlooks lake and estuary. If you don't fancy this one just walk on the main path. After couple hundred yards there is a hide, with a walkway, on the lake. After this there's a viewing platform overlooking the lake and farther on the main hide with a manned station by it. This one offers garden birds on the feeders and has toilets near it. You can carry on the path to reach another hide. It's situated near the tramline and is accessed by a field. If you're not into cattle give it a miss. Wetlands offers various and differing types of birds. We'll worth a peaceful two hours or more.

Beer Beach is quite large and rock pools can be explored at low tide, it is popular with swimmers, Paddle boarders, canoeists, motor boats and fishing trips, a walk down the ramp from the high street and the beach opens out - wow what a beautiful place to be- especially in the sun - Beer always seems so warm with its own micro climate. Heaven !!!

Only those willing to walk down the hill will make it to the beach. It's a pebble beach and when then tide is low there's sand underneath your feet in the water. Year ago there were loads and loads of spider crabs and the snorkeling was amazing - but as beer beach has increased seaton hole has suffered.

Spent some time in the gardens on the walk back from Beer. They are beautifully kept and a total oasis of calm with lovely views over the sea. The time line and labyrinth are interesting. Even better no dogs are allowed in the park.

My wife and I visited Seaton beach when visiting with our dog. The great thing about this beach is that it has a dog friendly area at both ends. The day we visited was windy, but we enjoyed the fact that we could walk our dog on the beach. The beach is pebbles so no sand, but it is a nice beach and just in front of the town centre.
