The Village of Beer: East Devon

Beer Beach

Beer beach is a natural suntrap and the waters in the bay are very sheltered with the imposing limestone cliffs giving protection from the wind. Because it is a ‘working beach’ the picturesque paraphernalia of the fishing industry with its brightly coloured wooden boats, nets, winches and neon-coloured floats add to its charm with the added bonus of being able to watch fishermen landing their catches of fresh fish, crabs, lobsters and scallops.

The views across the bay from Jubilee Gardens, situated above the beach are stunning. The gardens were created by the people of Beer to honour Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. Adjacent to the Jubilee Gardens is a children’s playground and an outdoor multigym. There is a small car park adjacent to the beach and larger ones in the centre of the village behind the Dolphin Hotel and at Beer Head (about 15 minutes walk from the beach). Public toilets are situated nearby.

Please contact Beer Parish council to ask about any rules and restrictions for using the beach.
