With its sandy shoreline, vibrant marina and easy access to the South West Coast Path, Exmouth is a brilliant base for a seaside escape. Whether you’re planning a relaxing retreat or an adventure-filled few days, these Exmouth short breaks offer a comfortable place to call home while exploring one of Devon’s most scenic coastal towns.

Why Book a Short Break in Exmouth?

Exmouth is a traditional seaside town with all the ingredients for a wonderful weekend getaway. Known for its golden beaches, estuary views and lively seafront, it’s an ideal destination whether you’re after peace and quiet or outdoor adventure. Booking one of these Exmouth short breaks puts you right on the edge of the UNESCO-listed Jurassic Coast, with miles of trails and countryside to enjoy.

Spend your days paddleboarding on the Exe Estuary, exploring rock pools on the beach or taking in the views from the clifftop paths. As evening falls, enjoy local seafood at the waterfront restaurants or catch the sunset from the marina. The pace here is relaxed, the scenery beautiful and the options endless.

Exmouth short breaks are also perfect if you’re short on time – whether it’s a last-minute weekend escape, a midweek recharge or a scenic base for exploring more of East Devon.

Places to Visit from Exmouth

During your stay in Exmouth, there are plenty of fantastic places to explore nearby. The historic city of Exeter is just a 30-minute drive away and offers a mix of Roman heritage, excellent shopping and riverside walks. Take a stroll around the cathedral green or explore the city’s underground passages for something a little different.

Head south to Dawlish, a charming resort town known for its resident black swans, traditional seafront and scenic coastal walks along the red cliffs. It’s a lovely spot for a slower afternoon by the sea.

If you’re happy to explore further afield, a trip to Brixham offers a lively working harbour, fresh fish and colourful cottages. Or head inland to enjoy the open landscapes of Dartmoor, perfect for walking and wildlife watching. Nearby villages like Topsham and Lympstone are also well worth a visit – both are known for their estuary views, local food and independent shops.
