Exmouth isn’t just a seaside town; it’s a place where coast, countryside, and community meet in perfect harmony. For many, it’s also the ideal location to enjoy a more relaxed pace of life, whether you’re downsizing, retiring, or simply looking for a home that offers more balance. Here’s why it holds such appeal:
- The Gateway to the Jurassic Coast
Exmouth is the starting point of the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast, famous for its striking red cliffs and dramatic landscapes. From gentle walks at Orcombe Point to scenic day trips along the coastline, it’s a place where every outing brings fresh air and spectacular views.
- Space to Breathe – Beaches, Estuary and Countryside
Life here is about enjoying the outdoors at your own pace. The sandy seafront is perfect for morning strolls, while the Exe Estuary is a peaceful haven for birdwatching. Woodbury Common, just a short drive away, offers wide-open moorland that’s perfect for gentle hikes or simply soaking up nature.
- A Leisurely Coastal Lifestyle
Exmouth makes it easy to embrace a slower, healthier way of living. Spend afternoons dining by the water, join local walking or sailing groups, or take part in community events at Sideshore; an award-winning coastal eco-hub, home to a watersports centre, restaurant, beach school, eco-hub and beachfront retail. With so many ways to keep active and social, there’s always something to enjoy.
- A Town with Heart and Community
Exmouth is more than just a beautiful setting; it’s a warm and welcoming town. From seasonal festivals and lively markets to its independent shops and cafés, there’s a strong sense of belonging — something many people seek when making a move later in life.
- Well-Connected, Convenient and Comfortable
While Exmouth offers the peace of the coast, it’s also reassuringly practical. Excellent transport links into Exeter, nearby healthcare services, and all the essentials for modern living are right on your doorstep. Downsizing doesn’t mean compromising; here you’ll find both convenience and charm.
