Seaton (/ˈsiːtən/) is a seaside town, fishing harbour and civil parish in East Devon on the south coast of England, between Axmouth (to the east) and Beer (to the west). It faces onto Lyme Bay and is on the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site.[1] A sea wall provides access to the mostly shingle beach stretching for about a mile, and a small harbour on the River Axe estuary.
The population of Seaton parish at the 2011 census was 8,413,[2] whilst the Seaton and Beer Urban Area (which includes Colyton) had an estimated population of 12,815 in 2012.[3] There are 3,300 homes in the parish, of which approximately one third are of single-person occupancy. The majority of those persons are of pensionable age.
