Pride in traditional service and courtesy is reflected in a remarkable variety of shops. "Why go elsewhere when everything is here," is a comment often heard in many a household in the town.

Big stores and speciality shops, gift shops and dress shops, ladies boutiques and gentlemen’s outfitters, dairy shops and market stalls, all beckon a friendly time-to-spare welcome that makes shopping in Sidmouth so leisurely and enjoyable.

They make a fascinating and delightful mix which, like the elegant seafront frontages, is central to Sidmouth’s unspoilt character, not least in summer when a riot of floral colour hangs and trails from every ledge and vantage point.
