LOCATION: 
A walk along Budleigh Salterton's historic promenade is an uplifting experience, whatever the season. With its small fishing boats and quirky, colourful beach huts, the famous pebbled beach stretches along Lyme Bay for about two miles, leading to an iconic view of the red cliffs – beloved of artists and photographers alike with the iconic and majestic Scots pines at the mouth of the River Otter. This small, charming seaside town has a timeless old-world quality and is one of Devon's quiet resorts, even in mid-summer. It is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is part of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, and is on the South West Coastal Path, making this an exceptional place. The Otter Estuary is a large nature reserve, home to abundant wildlife, and significant for kingfishers, sand martins, otters and the recently re-introduced beavers. If you are a bird watcher, many easily accessible hides along the riverbank offer abundant opportunities to study the wide variety of seasonal species.
Shopping: The town's picturesque high street, with its gently flowing brook and flower-filled summer planters, has a traditional array of mainly independent shops, including butchers, bakers, greengrocers, delicatessens, two small supermarkets and chemists, as well as an art gallery, plus several boutique gift and fashion shops. Freshly-caught fish can be bought on Budleigh Beach from the local fishermen most days of the week (look out for the pirate flag!). Farm shops are also conveniently located nearby: Pynes Farm (1.5 miles), Darts Farm (8 miles) and Greendale Farm (10 miles). Main high street outlets can be found in the historic cathedral city of Exeter (14 miles).
Food  & Drink: Traditional local pubs serving locally produced food and beer from local breweries can be found in the town and nearby East Budleigh and Otterton. Budleigh Salterton has more than its fair share of quaint, welcoming cafes and coffee shops in the town itself, with a further three cafes situated right on the seafront – perfect for enjoying your Devon cream tea or fresh crab sandwich. Or what's your favourite takeaway? Fish and chips, Indian or Chinese? 
Leisure: Whatever your age or interests, you'll find what you are looking for. Do you enjoy an invigorating swim in the sea or a leisurely walk along the Otter Estuary and seashore? Or there are many other excellent local facilities, including tennis, football, cricket, bowls and croquet clubs. But the jewel in Budleigh's crown must be the prestigious East Devon Golf Club, with its panoramic coastal views. Drop into the town's library to explore the wide range of other clubs and societies on offer, including a very active art club and amateur dramatics. You'll find the town hall offers a regular programme of shows, dances, film society presentations and art exhibitions. To learn about Budleigh's history, visit the pretty, thatched Fairlynch Museum, home to a collection of fascinating exhibits. Top of the local spectator sports is rugby's 2020 European and Premiership champions, Exeter Chiefs, Exeter City football club, county cricket at Taunton and regular horse racing at Exeter, Newton Abbott and Taunton.
