Beer itself is a picturesque destination that invites exploration and outdoor activities. The village boasts a stunning beach, bordered by limestone cliffs, where visitors can indulge in swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply relaxing in a deckchair while enjoying the fresh sea air. For the more adventurous, local mackerel fishing trips offer a taste of traditional fishing life, while the vibrant fishing boats provide a glimpse into the daily catch of the area. The culinary scene in Beer is vibrant, with numerous restaurants and pubs serving local dishes and fresh seafood, including the opportunity to enjoy a pint at the aptly-named Barrel of Beer.
In addition to the village's charm, The Old Lace Shop serves as a gateway to various attractions along the Jurassic Coast. Guests can explore the fascinating man-made caverns of Beer Stone, historically used in significant buildings such as Exeter and St Paul's Cathedrals. A short journey along the coast leads to Lyme Regis, famous for its iconic Cobb harbour and fossil-rich beaches, while Sidmouth, a Regency seaside town, offers beautiful gardens and a timeless charm. With its strategic location and abundant activities, The Old Lace Shop is the perfect year-round retreat for those seeking the beauty and adventure of the Devon coastline.
