West Down Beacon

Highlight • Historical Site

West Down Beacon at 423 feet (129 m) is the highest point on this stretch of coast path. There are great views out to sea or along the coast in either direction.

Tip by

9.00 km

Exmouth beach is around 2 miles (3.2 km) long and wonderfully sandy. There's a large tidal range here, so the beach can look completely different depending on what state of the tide you visit at. There are often large sand bars in the estuary as well and the beach is fantastic for swimming. Always look out for the RNLI lifeguarding flags and be careful of strong tides as the water leaves through a narrow channel.

Orcombe Point and the Geoneedle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Orcombe Point is the most westerly point of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, which stretches from Exmouth to Old Harry Rocks near Swanage in Dorset. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that you are surrounded by rocks that are 185 million years old at this point. If you are hiking the South West Coast Path the usual way, you can now look forward to 95 miles (153 km) of classic hiking along the Jurassic Coast.
