The best area to stay in Seatown is the historic Old Town, particularly around the High Street and the harbour area.


Old Town is the heart of Seatown, characterised by its narrow, cobbled streets and mediaeval architecture. The High Street is a pedestrianised area lined with independent shops, traditional pubs, and eateries, leading directly down to the working harbour. Here, you'll find fishing boats, seafood stalls, and the departure points for boat tours.


Couples often find the Old Town particularly appealing. Its quaint streets and historic pubs offer a romantic setting, and there are many excellent restaurants for evening meals. Strolling along the harbour at sunset is a popular activity, and many boutique hotels in this area offer sea views.


For those looking for a slightly quieter stay with easy access to the main attractions, the area just a short walk up from the High Street towards Abbey Hill is a good option. It's still very central but offers a more residential feel with lovely guesthouses and B&Bs, often with gardens.

The best time to visit Seatown is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its warmest and the town is at its most active.


During this period, you'll experience longer daylight hours, making it ideal for exploring the Jurassic Coast and enjoying outdoor activities. The sea temperatures are also most pleasant for swimming and watersports at this time. Many local events and festivals are scheduled for the summer, adding to the lively option.


If you prefer a quieter experience with fewer crowds but still pleasant weather, late spring (May) or early autumn (September) are excellent alternatives. The temperatures are still mild, and you can enjoy the natural beauty of the area with more tranquillity.
