March 22, 2026, Budleigh Salterton Beach

Forget the bucket and spade—at Budleigh Salterton, it’s all about the "Budleigh Buns!" These giant, smooth, oval pebbles are the beach’s signature, making it a paradise for stone-stackers and rock-pool explorers. Part of the Jurassic Coast, the beach is framed by dramatic, red Triassic cliffs that look like they’ve been toasted. It’s a wonderfully "posh and peaceful" spot where you can swap noisy arcades for the gentle crunch-crunch of your footsteps. Grab a crab sandwich, watch the colorful fishing boats, and see if you can find a pebble with a hidden fossil. It’s geology, but make it fashion!

Look out for an entrance onto a footpath on your right, which follows beside the railway tracks on your left, and the exe estuary on your right. The path is too narrow for cycling but great for walking and running.

You can cycle along below the goat walk wall "IF" the tide is out. This is ok, as even 4x4 cars sometimes do it. I've done it many times on my MTB

Exmouth Beach, renowned for its expansive two-mile stretch of golden sands and captivating rock pools. As the gateway to the UNESCO Jurassic Coast World Heritage site, Exmouth boasts a treasure trove of geological marvels waiting to be discovered.

A nice place to stop if you have done the ride from Exeter, sandy of course so not much chance of cycling along the beach!

Nice flat cycle path. But gets VERY busy with 2 wheeled, 2 legged and 4 legged visitors in the summer months. Watch how you go.
