Seaton is a coastal civil parish in East Devon, Devon, England, occupying the mouth of the River Axe on the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. The parish centres on a pebble beach and promenade, backed by saltmarsh and the popular Seaton Wetlands, and is served by the atmospheric Seaton Tramway which runs through the local marshes.
Historically a small fishing and milling community that expanded as a Victorian seaside resort, the parish’s economy now leans on tourism, leisure and local services; walking the South West Coast Path, birdwatching and fossil-hunting are common pastimes. The social scene is quietly civic, with independent shops and cafes catering to residents and visitors, and easy access to the surrounding Axe Valley countryside and nearby villages such as Colyford and Axmouth.
