==Features==
Budleigh Salterton lies at the mouth of the River Otter, where the estuary forms an area of reed bed and grazing marsh: an important haven for migratory birds and a Site of Special Scientific Interest for those interested in bird watching. It has a beautiful pebble beach with beach huts and cafes on the beach, and a designated area for naturists. Fishing from the beach is a popular activity, and there are beautiful coastal walks and a large wild bird sanctuary on the estuary.〔Budleigh Town website. ()〕
Budleigh Salterton lies on the South West Coast Path, with clifftop routes eastwards to Sidmouth and westwards to Exmouth. The pebble beach and cliffs are part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site, although this is an arrangement of geographical convenience, rather than being correct in terms of geological time, as much of the geology is Triassic, represented by bunter sandstone (Budleigh Salterton pebble beds). The Jurassic Coast stretches over a distance of , from Orcombe Point near Exmouth in the west to Old Harry Rocks on the Isle of Purbeck in the east. The coastal exposures along the coastline provide a continuous sequence of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous rock formations spanning approximately 185 million years of the Earth's history. The Jurassic Coast contains a large range of important fossil zones. The area is known for radioactive nodules containing vanadium and uranium in red marl at Littleham Cove.〔''Geology of the country around Exeter'': memoir for 1:50 000 geological sheet 325 (England and Wales), British Geological Survey Memoirs Series, Richard Anthony Edwards, R.
