In the 19th century Seaton developed as a holiday resort, which it remains to this day.
After much protest Seaton lost its largest holiday camp at the beginning of 2009 when the site was purchased by Tesco who opened a major supermarket on the site in late 2011.
However, Seaton still has many accommodation providers including guest houses, hotels, a camping site and a caravan park.

The church on the edge of town was built in the 14th century, with a squat tower dating from the 15th century.
Seaton is also notable for having one of the world's first concrete bridges, built over the River Axe in 1877, by the Seaton and Beer Railway company.
This is one of the earliest concrete bridges in Britain.
Many of the town buildings are Victorian, including a notable collection of large houses at Seaton Hole, but the town also has notable buildings from the 1930s and later periods, as recognised by the Seaton Town Design Statement (2009).
