Nestled on the Jurassic Coast of Devon, the idyllic village of Beer has been crowned Britain’s most stunning seaside spot. Previously topping The Telegraph’s list of the UK’s best seaside villages, Beer is celebrated for its nostalgic charm, with descriptions of a “lashings of ginger beer” Blyton vibe and being “pleasingly old-fashioned.”
Beer, with its panoramic view of the shingle beach, offers a timeless sanctuary seemingly untouched by modern life. Situated within a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Jurassic Coast, and the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village is an ideal starting point for adventures along the South West Coast Path.
The Jubilee Pleasure Gardens, the sheltered south-facing beach, and the working fishing fleet provide a family-friendly holiday destination. The village’s impeccably kept main street, lined with traditional shops and pubs, feels like stepping back in time and is home to treasured family businesses passed down through generations.

Beer’s history as a hub for smugglers is reflected in the numerous caves along its cliffs, now perfect for crabbing, rock pooling, and soaking up the natural suntrap that is the cliff.
Accessible by car or train, Beer offers a variety of accommodation options and is the perfect place for a classic English seaside day trip or holiday.
The Telegraph’s list also featured other notable seaside villages, making Beer a must-visit coastal destination.
