Fishermans Pier, Sidmouth
The beach in Sidmouth is roughly one mile in length.

Set in a bay, the beach is fairly sheltered. The beach itself consists mainly of pebbles but it is occasionally sandy when the tide goes out.

The Promenade runs the entire length of the beach and the town is always close by providing all the facilities you might need. The eastern end of Sidmouth beach features spectacular red sandstone cliffs.

Sidmouth is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is on the Jurassic Coast world heritage site and the South West coast path, a long distance footpath that skirts almost all of the coast in the West Country of England.

The principal income of the town is from tourism. Sidmouth holds an annual folk festival in early August attracting musicians and tourists from around the world.

The town is also popular as a retirement community, with about 60% of the population being over retirement age.
