Please refer to our local maps of Seaton and Beer for locations of local car parks. If you have any questions please contact Seaton Tourist Information Centre, who also sell weekly car park permits and can provide the documentation for yearly and six month permits.
The weekly permit is cost effective for visitors to the area and can be used in any East Devon owned car park.
For more details, including permits and exact locations of all East Devon car parks, please refer to www.EastDevon.gov.uk/CarParks
Please note that, in East Devon, those eligible to park in a disabled bay pay the same rate as other car park users.
Coach Drivers’ Information
The facilities for visiting coaches are excellent and we would like to encourage coach operators to consider visiting Seaton and once they are here, stay awhile with their passengers. What to do has a section that provides suggestions for what to do for your passengers, spending a few hours or perhaps a whole day in Seaton.
Seaton offers good sized coach parking facilities, within a few minutes level walk to the sea front. The coach park is immediately opposite our Tourist Information Centre and the famous Seaton Tramway attraction, which is ideal for day trippers. The Tramway is open every day, for most of the year. The Tramway journey takes minimum of an hour and a half but there are lunch and light refreshment facilities available and in the town, for longer visits.
The public toilet facilities, including those for disabled visitors, are situated next to the Tramway and therefore immediately opposite the coach park. A mile long level esplanade complements the local shops and cafes which are very close by.
The Seaton Tourist Information Centre, which is a minute away, opposite the coach park, would be delighted to see and provide advice to coach drivers who come in to see us. A free tea/coffee is always available to those who need to get leaflets for their passengers or seek advice and a friendly face.
Please see our local map, which shows the coach park and local facilities. If you have any questions, please contact us.
