Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
  • Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
  • Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
  • Britain and Ireland ↗Neither the UK nor Ireland is part of Schengen: days spent here do not count towards the 90/180-day Schengen limit, and a Schengen visa does not admit you to either country.
  • Britain and Ireland ↗The island of Ireland runs on two currencies: euro in the Republic, pound sterling in Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Carry a card that pays in both without fees.
  • Britain and Ireland ↗Both islands drive on the left. Speed limits are in miles per hour in the UK (including Northern Ireland) and in kilometres per hour in the Republic of Ireland.
  • United Kingdom ↗Most visitors who do not need a UK visa now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling; this includes EU nationals. Irish citizens are exempt. Check the UK government site for your passport.
  • United Kingdom ↗The UK is outside the EU and the Schengen area; a Schengen visa is not valid for the UK.
  • United Kingdom ↗Driving is on the left; London has congestion and emissions charges for most vehicles, so do not drive in the city.

Exmouth is a seaside town at the mouth of the Exe estuary in East Devon, with a two-mile sandy beach and the western start of the Jurassic Coast. It is small, walkable and easy to reach by train from Exeter in about 35 minutes. Most travellers come for a beach day, a coast-path walk or a boat trip, not for a long stay.

Watch out

Safety

A low-crime seaside town; the real risks are the sea and the cliffs. Obey the red flags, check the tide and water quality before swimming, and keep back from the cliff edges on the coast path.
  • Swimming is banned on part of the beach because of strong tidal currents; red flags mark the danger spots.
  • The beach can close after pollution; check the red flags and the water-quality forecast before you swim.
  • The coast path east to Budleigh Salterton has steep, rough sections and stiles; not for frail walkers.
  • Many seafront cafés and attractions are seasonal and shut outside summer.
