The area is part of the Jurassic Coastline and enjoys a rich history, dating back to Saxon times, when it was known as Fleet. During the Napoleonic wars a large fort was situated on a portion of the seafront, later replaced with a Martello tower; however, all have long since disappeared.

Seaton became a popular resort in the latter part of the 19th century. With the arrival of trains came the arrival of holidaymakers and tourism has remained its main industry.
