YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Beer
The working beach and Jubilee Gardens
Begin at Beer's shingle beach, where fishing boats and the surrounding cliffs give the bay its distinctive appearance. Leave room around boats and equipment while enjoying the shore, then continue up to Jubilee Gardens for another view across the water. A picnic or a village lunch can make this a complete, unhurried outing. Those wanting a longer walk can plan a coast-path route towards Seaton or Branscombe separately.
Inside Beer Quarry Caves
Beer Quarry Caves reveals the spaces left by generations of stone extraction, with guided tours explaining the work, tools and conditions behind the caverns. It is a visit underground into a human-made landscape, giving a strong contrast with the open beach. Bring a warm layer and suitable shoes even when the village feels summery, and book a tour that suits your group rather than expecting to wander inside independently.
Railways and gardens at Pecorama
Pecorama sits above the village, combining the Beer Heights Light Railway, model railway displays and landscaped gardens with coastal views. In 2026 it welcomes visitors on selected opening days and for special events or pre-booked experiences, so choose an advertised date before building your itinerary around it. Railway enthusiasts can also explore the Harburn Hobbies model shop; the attraction's timetable and the shop's arrangements should be considered separately.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Fore Street provides a practical village focus, with Beer Village Stores for convenience shopping. The village directory also lists Marine House at Beer and Steam Gallery for art, and Jimmy Green Marine for marine equipment and clothing. Browse these as local businesses in their own right, then pick up what you need for the holiday home rather than assuming every shop is aimed solely at souvenirs.
Planning your holiday in Beer
Plan for shingle underfoot at the beach and changes in level around the village and cliff paths. The shore is not a substitute for a supervised activity session, and the caves need different clothing from a beach afternoon. Pecorama's selected dates are particularly important for short breaks: fit that visit into the calendar before choosing the remaining outdoor outings.
Choosing where to stay
For a caravan holiday near Beer, use the exact park location to work out whether village visits involve walking, driving or another transport arrangement. A coastal view does not establish an easy route to the beach. Ask the owner about access, dates and guest requirements, then agree the rental directly; the guide does not imply that accommodation is currently available.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
