Exmouth is a coastal town and civil parish in East Devon, Devon, England, sitting at the mouth of the River Exe. It’s known for a long sandy seafront and a gently sloping promenade, with Orcombe Point nearby marking the start of the Jurassic Coast and offering dramatic cliff and fossil views; the adjacent Exe Estuary is an important nature reserve for migrating birds and seals.
The town’s character mixes Regency and Victorian seafront architecture with a lively watersports scene - windsurfing and kitesurfing are popular - and a seasonal tourist economy alongside local services and commuting links to Exeter. There’s also a small fishing heritage, community festivals and events on the seafront, and good access for walkers and cyclists on the South West Coast Path.
