Residents, businesses and visitors alike will be aware of the movement of the shingle from the beach, to the esplanade caused by Storm Goretti. Seaton Town Council have been liaising with East Devon District Council (EDDC), who manage the beach, to establish time frames for removing and reprofiling the shingle. EDDC have obtained quotations from various contractors, and we are pleased to confirm that a contractor has now been appointed.
Works to move the shingle from the esplanade and push it away from the seawall and back onto the beach will begin on Monday and are anticipated to take 4 days. This complements the work that Streetcene has already done to move some of the pebbles. However with an excavator and bulldozer, this work should now go at pace
EDDC have advised that, due to the likelihood of further storms, this work is the minimum needed at this time and, pending further beach changes during future storms, further work may be needed to regrade the beach later in the year.
Thank you for your patience with this matter 😊
Seaton Town Council understands it can be confusing knowing which Council is responsible for what so we have put together this handy guide to make things clearer 😊

When are you going to clean up the seafront it,s only a days work for a digger what,s stopping you?
Thank for info
Whilst I appreciate this useful clarification, I would also appreciate a regular newsletter of community interest on this platform, or your website, of matters that have come to the Council's attention such as the latest news about the construction / renovation of the two derelict buildings blighting our very short terrace of cafes and pubs on our esplanade which I'm sure council tax payers and visitors would like to have completed ASAP
Please note that Devon County Council have put up notices informing of increases to parking charges on the Seafront in from 1st April 2026.

Why 4 hours max stay? Surely people who spend time on beach are there all day?!
So a family wants a day at the beach, how does this encourage visitors?
Who makes this decision?
For all those with little ones - Music Makers will restart at St Gregory's Church on 15th January at 10am 🥁🪇🎼

We hope everyone made it through last night’s storm safely. A quick update to confirm that repairs to the bus shelter on the seafront are already underway and will be completed today. The Underfleet bus shelter by the coach park has also been repaired today.
If you do decide to visit the seafront, please take extra care as the esplanade and the road is covered with pebbles and the road also flooded in places.

Thank you for getting the bus stops repaired.
Another successful beach school session delivered by Crazy Crabs Beach School last Saturday 😊 Judging by all the smiley faces the children had a wonderful time despite the arctic temperature!
These very popular beach school sessions are funded by Seaton Town Council and delivered by Crazy Crabs Beach School. There is a small charge per child to cover the cost of resources. Look out for information on the next session in February half term 🦀🦀
