Exmouth's main beach is approximately 2 miles long, extending from Orcombe Point to the East and alongside the Exe estuary. The shore is mostly sandy with some rock outcrops and groynes, and backed by a promenade and cycle path, with high sandstone cliffs towards Orcombe Point. P&D parking is available in bays along the promenade, also in a large car park behind the beach and along local roads. Lifeguards patrol from mid July until early September. It's a popular location for watersports and swimming is generally safe away from the river.
There are plenty of facilities nearby, including cafes, toilets and drinking water provision. Exmouth railway station is just over a mile away. Dogs are not allowed on the central portion of the beach from 1st May until 30th Sepetmeber inclusive.
