6. Sidmouth

There are 24 beach huts available on a seasonal basis from 1 April to 31 October. These are located at the bottom of the slope below Connaught Gardens in an area called Jacobs Ladder.

These huts are let on a three year rota. Once you are allocated a hut it will be available for your use every third year. Many people form syndicates and share the hut.

There is no electricity here and water is supplied via a communal tap.

Once you have placed your name on the waiting list you may still have to wait approximately 4 - 6 years.
