Seaton beach is a mile long pebble beach, gently sloping and safe to swim. At low tide you can see some coarse sand patches.
At the top of the beach is the Esplanade, a flat paved walk 1,160 metres in length stretching from Axmouth Harbour at the eastern end of the bay to the Chine café towards the western end. In the winter or when risk of flooding barriers may be in place meaning you have to use steps to progress along the esplanade.
Parking and facilities within Seaton itself.
Seaton Beach has been awarded a regional Seaside Award.
Dog Friendly Beach?
Dog bins are provided and dogs are welcome all year on the second beach zone.
Water samples are taken at regular intervals during the bathing season and at the end of the season the water quality is classified as: - Excellent: the highest classification meaning the water is cleanest - Good: generally good water quality - Sufficient: meets minimum standards - Poor: You are advised not to swim. The beach will stay open and an action plan should be in place to improve the water quality.
