Exmouth's idyllic location makes it the perfect centre from which to explore the unspoilt delights and charms of East Devon. With its two miles of golden sands and fascinating rock pools it's a paradise for children and adults alike. The promenade is two miles long and still has old favourites such as swingboats and crazy golf.

The walk from the harbour and marina to Orcombe Point is level with wonderful views towards Dawlish and Torbay, and for the less agile there are plenty of seats along the route to stop and rest awhile. For the more energetic there's always the cycle path. Down at the harbour you'll find many boat trips on offer, try mackerel or deep-sea fishing or alternatively take a sightseeing trip or relax and watch the boats go by. There is a good selection of shops and if you enjoy bargain hunting you'll love the indoor market.

When it comes to eating out you are spoilt for choice as Exmouth has an excellent range of restaurants, pubs, cafes and take-aways. With a wide range of accommodation, from luxury hotels to holiday parks, there's something to suit everyone.
