The Underfleet play area, a Jurassic themed adventure play park is fantastic for children, who will enjoy exploring bat tunnels, scaling rocks at the cretaceous zone, or zipping down a foot zip wire! Located in the heart of Seaton is Windsor Gardens, providing a peaceful resting spot amidst colourful flower beds. Seaton Wetlands, with five hides, nearly 4km of level trails through marshland, meadow and the river, is great for exploring, spotting birds and watching the wildlife.
For those with additional access needs, head along the Stop Line Way path which has been designed with mobility aids in mind. It is thought that Seaton has been inhabited for over years and there are still remains from the Neolithic and the Bronze and Iron Age to be found in and around the town centre. There is also evidence of the Roman empire, extensive Roman artefacts including coins have been found in the town and there appears to be remains of a former Roman station and villas there too.
Part of the trackway can still be used by visitors by taking a trip with Seaton Tramway who run trips to Colyton throughout the year. View Map.

Good pasty shop in Beer and you can buy fresh fish from the shop on the harbour. Axmouth has nothing there except a couple of pubs. If you are interested in wildlife the Seaton Wetlands nature reserve is popular with bird photographers and otters have been sighted on the Axe river and wetlands.
Communications are a bit better at Seaton than Beer, a few more buses, the Tramway to Colyton and the roads are slightly wider. It's not the prettiest place around - my favourite in the area being Lyme Regis just over the border in Dorset - but the accommodation tends to be cheaper and it's a good base for visiting East Devon.
There used to be a holiday camp visited by tens of thousand of people a year, many of them repeat visitors, so clearly had appeal to quite a few people. Don't understand why some people on here rubbish it, possibly trying to attract people to their own, or their relatives, businesses.
Thankyou for your reply-very helpful. I'm sure Seaton would be fine for us. I think we'll take a family vote to decide between the two! There are some good places to buy food and cook yoursefl. Hi, I know it may be too late but wanted to reply to your post about our experience.
When we first visited this place we werent impressed as all we saw was a concrete wall on a rainy day! However if you explore a little the place grows on you! We now stay in Seaton regularly, and it isn't a bad place at all. I think the big concrete wall makes it look ugly but we really love it here.
It has a lovely beach, which never gets overcrowded, there is beautiful countryside, lovely walks and wildlife, and as the others have commented you are not far from other places. The Cowshed is a lovely place to eat, and Frydays is nice too.
There are some shops in the town, the sweet shop is a hit with our son, and Tescos is useful. It is an improving place and compared to where we live it's a peaceful place to spend some time. Thanks for your message, I'm sure as you say like lots of places it could grow on you. Found most of the accommodation in the area expensive to get a place big enough for us all.
In the end we have decided to go to Spain!! Very different from the original plan but will hopefully be fun.
