A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
Keep walking until you find the sea-view tables
At the western end of Seaton’s esplanade, this small beachfront café pairs Lyme Bay views with coffee, breakfast, lunch and cake.
The best part of finding The Hideaway is the approach. Follow Seaton’s esplanade west to its end and the café appears beside the beach, with outdoor tables looking across Lyme Bay. It makes a simple plan: walk first, then stop for coffee and whatever looks good on the cake counter. The team names The Coffee Factory as its coffee supplier and the Exploding Bakery among its cake suppliers, with breakfast and lunch also available. Choose a sea-facing seat when the weather suits, or take something away. Check the café’s current updates if you are hoping to catch one of its occasional events.
