A tranquil and unspoilt Regency town by the sea, which has managed to retain much of its classic beauty and original charm. Situated on the Jurassic Coastline of East Devon and designated as a World Heritage site, it is considered one of the most desirable coastal locations in the UK.
The beautiful two-mile beach, with very clean and safe bathing water, is framed by the picturesque sandstone cliffs, and allows panoramic views across Lyme Bay. Nearby is the Otter Estuary Nature Reserve, which has an abundance of wildlife to explore with footpaths both sides and viewing platforms. The whole town and its surroundings are a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

There are a number of clubs and societies that cater for all ages and cover a range of interests, pursuits and activities. East Devon Golf Club, Budleigh Cricket Club plus the Croquet and Tennis Club are renowned sporting venues, whilst culturally the art galleries and drama playhouse have regular festivals and exhibitions.
The annual literary and music festivals are recognised on an international level, with some of the town’s famous residents regularly contributing. There are opportunities for all types of cycle routes, water sports and fishing along the coast and in the Exe Estuary.
