Which area of Sidmouth is best to stay in for beaches?

The Esplanade runs parallel to the pebble and shingle beach, offering lovely views of Lyme Bay and the red cliffs. Hotels and guesthouses here are just steps away from the water, and many have balconies or rooms overlooking the sea. The town centre, with its independent shops and eateries, is also a very short stroll inland from the Esplanade.

Couples often find this area ideal for a relaxing seaside getaway. You can enjoy morning walks along the promenade, spend your days by the sea, and easily access the town's restaurants for evening meals without needing to travel far.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Sidmouth?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Sidmouth is during the summer months, particularly July and August. The weather is at its warmest then, with average temperatures usually ranging from 18°C to 22°C, which is ideal for enjoying the beach and the town's coastal charm.

During this period, the beach is bustling with families and solo travellers making the most of the sunny days, whether it's for swimming, sunbathing, or exploring the Jurassic Coast.

For those seeking a vibrant seaside experience with all amenities readily available, this is the prime time.

For a delightful alternative, late May or early June offers excellent advantages. The weather is still very pleasant, with temperatures often in the mid-to-high teens, superb for walks along the South West Coast Path or enjoying a cream tea with sea views.

What beach activities should we do in Sidmouth?

For those who enjoy a good stroll, the South West Coast Path offers stunning coastal walks directly from Sidmouth's beaches.

These walks are superb for couples looking for a scenic and active outing.

Families often find fossil hunting a rewarding activity on Sidmouth's beaches, particularly around the rock pools at low tide.

With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
