Explore Exmouth and See Something Different
Where the Land Meets the SeaNestled on the scenic coast of Devon, Exmouth is more than just another place with a beach and a bunch of seagulls that think they own the joint. Here, the land shakes hands with the sea, creating a perfect storm of stunning views and delightful coastal experiences. Exmouth proudly wears its beach towel and invites everyone to join in on the fun—unless you're a crab, in which case, you're not invited.For those who haven’t graced the charming streets of Exmouth, prepare yourself. The promenade is like a catwalk for ice cream vendors and seaside eateries, while the air is rich with the scent of fish and chips and the salty kiss of the ocean breeze. Feel free to gaze longingly at the horizon, but if you spot a flock of seagulls, it’s best to keep your fries close. Beach Life: Paddling, Building, and Possibly Getting WetThe beach isn't just a place to sunbathe; it's practically a playground for the adventurous spirit. Families can be seen building sandcastles that would make even royalty envious—or at least a very proud five-year-old. If you're feeling particularly ambitious, you might try your hand at paddling. Just remember, if your paddleboard looks more like a sinking ship than a sleek vessel, it’s all part of the fun. Serious water sports enthusiasts will find plenty to keep them on their toes—literally. Windsurfing, kayaking, and jet skiing are all on offer. Just be prepared to take an unexpected swim, especially if you decide to channel your inner mermaid. Spoiler alert: you’ll likely look more like a flailing dolphin.Explore the Local CuisineAfter an action-packed day, you’ll want to sit down and refuel. Exmouth doesn't disappoint when it comes to food. The local restaurants offer a smorgasbord of delights that will tickle your taste buds. Try the famous fish and chips, which you can either enjoy on a plate or embrace the full experience by eating it out of paper like the locals. Don’t forget to explore some of the quirky cafés in town. One might even serve you a latte with a side of existential dread—because nothing pairs with caffeine like a little deep thought. - Fish and chips: A classic. Perfectly battered, golden, and practically begging to be devoured.
- Local seafood: If it's swimming, it’s probably on the menu.
- Homemade cakes: Because, let’s be honest, dessert makes every meal complete.

The Exe Estuary is home to a variety of birds, and if you're lucky, you might spot a seal or two lounging on the coast. If you're really keen, why not hop on a boat tour? It’s as close to being Captain Ahab as most of us will get—minus the whale, of course. Instead, expect to see dolphins frolicking nearby, likely judging your boat skills from a safe distance.
