Things to do in Out and About in East Devon
Head over to this more recent post giving a great selection of days out in East Devon and my other post great reasons to visit Seaton
We love Seaton Beach which has always been a regular spot for us. It’s far less famous than nearby Lyme Regis, however for many locals it feels much more down to earth.
It may lack the picturesque regency buildings, winding streets, all year ice creams and sandy beach, but the crash of waves on the pebbles and the sweep of the bay across the Axe Estuary make Seaton equally lovely in its own way.
The long promenade is perfect for roller blades, scooters and push chairs. The café The Hideaway at the end of the walkway has good reviews and lovely views. Great fish and chips are to be found at the award winning Frydays and other cafes and ice creams are never too far away.
Paddle boarding and sea kayaking are on offer by Seaton Bay Watersports
Back on the beach for the less energetic or after your activity making stone castles and people watching are pretty high on the list of things to do.
For a walk slightly inland, Seaton Wetlands along the Axe Estuary is a great option – even the youngest children will be able to spot some birds – here’s a post all about our visit to the Wetlands – click here.
I really hope you enjoy Seaton as much as I do, I have many happy memories being there as a child and more recently with my own children.
