Seaton is a Gateway Town to the Jurassic Coast.

Tucked away in the south eastern corner of Devon, is the beautiful, unspoilt Axe Valley. At the mouth of the River Axe is the friendly, coastal resort of Seaton.

The mile-long beach at Seaton is excellent for water sports, from sailing and swimming, to diving and windsurfing. 

Seaton's unique tramway runs inland, along the Axe estuary, to the medieval market town of Colyton and is perfect for birdwatchers, transport enthusiasts or those who simply want to watch the beautiful riverside scenery glide by.  Next to the tramway is the new Seaton Marshes Nature Reserve.  The installation of a viewing hide and wheelchair-friendly paths means this beautiful area and its wildlife - wildfowl and wading birds in winter; dragonflies and butterflies in summer - are now easily accessible all year round. 

The town itself has many small shops including a greengrocer, fishmonger and butcher, which have disappeared from so many other high streets, which are perfect for a self-catering holiday. There is also the Axe Valley Heritage Museum, which houses a fine collection of local photographs, archaeological finds and period costume.

Visit the eleven-circuit, traditional but unique, Seaton Labyrinth at Cliff Field which overlooks the Bay and Beer Cliffs. Grass pathways are edged with rock from the Jurassic Coast.
