Exmouth sits where the River Exe meets the sea, serving as the gateway to the Jurassic Coast. It’s a town defined by its geography: you have two miles of sandy beach looking out across Lyme Bay to the south, while the western edge is shaped by the shifting sandbanks and salt marshes of the Exe Estuary. Because of the way the land lies, the town is relatively flat, making it easy to get around on foot or by bike, though the ground rises sharply as you head towards the red sandstone cliffs of Orcombe Point. Historically, it was one of the first established seaside resorts in Devon, and that heritage is still visible in the Regency architecture tucked away behind the modern seafront. Practically speaking, it’s a town that functions year-round; it isn't just a summer destination. The train line is a vital link, running right along the water’s edge and getting you into the centre of Exeter in about half an hour. It’s the kind of place where daily life is dictated by the tides - whether that’s watching the kite surfers out on the Duckponds or keeping an eye on the ferry that runs across the estuary to Starcross.
