So today was a walking day. Joe had done Seaton to Lyme Regis yesterday and said it wasn’t as nice as you don’t really get any sea views, so we decided to go the other way to Beer Point. Making jokes about being in Beer the whole time (Beer Sailing Club, Beer Town Hall, Devon cream tea Beer).<\/p>\n

It’s a lovely walk and fairly easy, though lots of climbing and then going back down. We started along the beach, as the coastal path has a large hole, so it detours around by road, or by the beach. The beach is nicer even if it is hard walking on the rocks. Then a climb up Seaton Hole and back along the cliff tops with views over the sea and Seaton. The climb down into Beer is very steep – so steep they’ve put in steps. Beer is a lovely little village, with a small river (more a ditch) running down the main street. Lots of cute little shops, though we didn’t see much on the way out as we kept heading toward the point. Another steep climb up to the point but worth the views out over the coast line. We found a couple of spots and Joe took photos while I checked out the bird life and bunnies. Then the flowers and bugs. Joe still took photos.<\/p>\n

Coming down from the point we stopped off in Beer so Joe could have a beer. Then we walked up the main street and on the way back to the walk got an ice cream (yum) and sat over looking over the beach finishing them. We didn’t go down to the beach (another flight or three of stairs down to that!) Joe thinks the beach at Beer is very regulated – they have walkways over the pebbles and the deck chairs are all in neat rows. Then back along the path to Seaton. Once we got back we walked along the beach to the old concrete bridge (oldest still standing) and sat and watched the harbour.<\/p>\n

The weather was, yet again, wonderful. Very warm and bright sunshine and we’re now officially sunburnt.<\/p>\n

We’re now back in the room, having a drink and watching Wimbledon. We’ll get washed up and head out for dinner at The Shed<\/a> later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
