Seaton (Cornish: Sethyn, meaning little arrow (after the river)) is a village on the south coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated at the mouth of the River Seaton approximately three miles (5 km) east of Looe and ten miles (16 km) west of Plymouth.[1] The village is in the civil parish of Deviock.[2]

The village stretches inland along the River Seaton valley.[1] It has a pub, a beach café, and some shops. Seaton beach is mostly shingle and stretches from the river to the village of Downderry which approximately a mile to the east.
