Exmouth, Disability & Wheelchair Access
Exmouth and surrounding area

Exmouth has a mainly flat access from the town to the beach and nearly all the footpaths have gently slopped kerbs.

Disabled Toilets. Radar keys are available from the Tourist information Centre at the Magnolia Gardens.

The Exmouth Town Hall with the Town Council, East Devon Housing Office and the Citizens Advice has wheelchair access from the car park end. The Library (see photo) also has access via a slope.

The railway station also has access via a slope at the front. Evening trains are only accessible at the rear of the station with a small slope (cut through the Bus station, after the toilets turn right).

Below accessible beaches for wheelchair users.

Exmouth's Esplanade is totally flat and is over 2 miles long. The beach has soft sand at the top of the beach. There are slopes to the beach at the Orcombe point end (near cliff). Further near the sand dunes not possible.

Near the Middle of the Seafront, next to the Harbour view cafe (near the Inshore Lifeboat Station) there is a wide slope and the beach is flat, but altetes with the sea.

The River Exe has access from the Imperial Recreation Ground (near the railway station) there is a slope at the back (for boats) to estuary when the tide out, Same again around the Marina there is a slope (for boats) on the corner where the sea meets the river when the tide out.

The slipway near the Marina (near the Beach Hotel-pub) has after one step, a small concrete path behind the seawall defence leading towards the clock Tower, but it does not go that far and must be completed on the sand.
