Seaton occupies a flat site at the mouth of the River Axe with the ancient harbour of Axmouth to the east and the white cliffs of Beer to the west. Its mile long beach, which is part of the World Heritage Site known as the Jurassic Coast, opens onto the waters of Lyme Bay. The town itself has many small shops - greengrocers, fishmonger, butchers, and florist - which have disappeared from so many other high streets. Further facilities for all day-to-day requirements include a local hospital, doctors surgeries, a primary school, banks and building societies.
