EXMOUTH'S idyllic location makes it the perfect centre from which to explore the unspoilt delights and charms of East Devon. The many additions and improvements to its facilities over the years have complemented its relaxed and timeless quality.

The two miles of soft golden sands are backed by a promenade that offers wonderful views towards Dawlish and beyond. Stretching from the harbour to Orcombe Point it provides a level walk with plenty of seats to take a rest and watch the world go by.

Popular with families Exmouth also has much to offer all ages with a wide selection of activities and interests.

There are several golf clubs within easy driving distance, keen cyclists can take the designated cycle route from Exmouth to Budleigh Salterton and, of course, walkers are spoilt for choice with the spectacular South Devon coastal path or the East Devon Way.

At the Orcombe Point end of the promenade a climb up the zig zag path brings you to the coastal path and the impressive Geoneedle.

The Exe Estuary is renowned for its abundant winter birdlife and enthusiasts arrive each year to catch sight of the avocet and many other wildfowl and wading birds. This fascinating stretch of water attracts artists, photographers, naturalists and all manner of tourists and locals. One of the best ways to see the coast's charms is to take a boat trip.
