Seaton Beach

Great beach for walking with dogs

If you're lucky free parking round grassed area

I have a long history with seaton and I do love it but there is one big issue here at the moment and that's the sewage coming down from the river. This place also gets absolutely rammed on a sunny day as the car parks quickly fill up and there is nowhere else too park the third issue here is the weaver fish I'd wear sea shoes here. Its a good swim when its calm and a good place to surf when its a bit choppy, as I said the place gets rammed in summer so avoid during August. The road in and out of the village floods regularly ever winter. There are no shops here at all, you have the beach house restaurant and the smugglers in pub, seaton cafe has been shut for a few years and downderry has the inn on the shore pub and inn, something different veggie/vegan cafe, bewsheas a tapas place. The shop in downderry has been shut for about 3 years, the nearest shop is treddinick farm shop going left out of hessenford. If you walk here from Looe bear in mind it can be difficult to get a taxi back as there are no local firms except looe and torpoint and no direct buses back to Looe and the coast path from Looe is much harder going then it might originally seem and poorly maintained. Other things of note.. the walk from seaton too hessenford through the wooded valley is stunning and the Copley Arms is a great pub in hessenford. Public transport will take you to either liskeard, torpoint or plymouth but buses are few and far between (three and day none on Sunday). Like a lot of places in cornwall Seaton is most enjoyable in spring, early summer and early autumn best avoided peak season. The beach is dog friendly all year round.

Reasonable parking and an interesting grey sanded beach. Walked along the rocks by the cliffs as it was low tide. A pleasant adventure.

Lovely beach that has life guards on duty during holiday season. On the day that we visited Seaton beach it was 24 degrees and very busy with both local residents and holiday makers. We arrived here via walking along the sea wall and beach from Downderry.

Seaton has toilets and a place that you can purchase food and drink. We enjoyed a delicious ice-cream each while watching everyone else having so much fun. During the week a bus pass through here every two hours.

Lovely clean beach. Good parking and prices are not too high. Good facilities with a pub, cafes, a small park and toilets. There is also a lifeguard on duty at the beach making it a good choice for families, and it's dog friendly!
