Beer is a delightful fishing village and is a joy to visit – with a backdrop of soaring white cliffs, it is situated in a lovely sheltered bay with a pebbled beach, and there is much sailing and fishing activity to enjoy watching.

For those of you are wondering, the name Beer is derived from an old English name meaning ‘a small wood’. Although beer was never produced in the village, the local vineyards – owned by the monks of Sherborne Abbey – produced wine.
The quaint main street has a pretty natural stream running alongside, leading past many fascinating shops, pubs and restaurants – ideal to browse around at your leisure.

Beer has many claims to fame, including its history of fishing and boating, and both visitors and locals still enjoy watching the local fishermen landing their catches.
If you admire the beautiful cliffs, you will realise why Beer has been famous since Roman times for supplying fine white limestone, which has been used in buildings throughout the country from Exeter Cathedral to Windsor Castle and the Tower of London.

To enjoy the fishing tradition of the village, there are angling trips available throughout the season, or you can enjoy freshly caught fish either for sale or at one of the local restaurants or pubs.

There are lots of shops and galleries, including the Marine House, featuring perfect souvenirs such as the famous Beer pottery.

The Sailing Club is long established, and the highlight of their year is Beer Regatta Week, this year from August 6 to 12, with races, competitions, and lots of fun events including barrel rolling down Fore Street. Throughout the year you can watch the boats in the bay, including those from Beer Luggers Club who still use an old traditional rig.

Another special event is Rattenbury Day on August 27, when there are lots of fun and festivities celebrating the life of Beer native Jack Rattenbury, one of Devon’s most notorious smugglers.

Also established as an annual event is the Beer Rhythm & Blues festival, which has a superb atmosphere and features performances at venues throughout the area in October.

There is so much to enjoy any time of the year, including taking some exercise on the spectacular coastal path, and there are well signposted footpaths leading inland from the village.

A visit to Beer Quarry Caves is a fascinating experience, with vast underground caverns dating as far back as Roman times, providing stone for many famous buildings.
