Exmouth is the gateway to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and the largest town on the East Devon coast. The town's 2-mile sandy beach, watersports centre, and proximity to Exeter (11 miles) create a dual economy of tourism and commuting. Significant regeneration at the seafront and marina area is transforming the town's commercial property offer.
