The story behind Dartmouth’s ‘Escape to the Coast’ 🛍️

Escape to the Coast is an independent business owned and run by Karen Hearn. She has two sites at 34 and 37 Lower Street.

Karen was a sales manager for over 25 years before setting up her first shop in Hertfordshire. But regular visits to the South Hams instilled a desire to move to the area.

She told us: “Dartmouth became my favoured location because it is such a beautiful town, with a vibrant retail sector, and in particular because of the beautiful coastal road from Dartmouth
to Torcross. It is without doubt the place that inspires the ranges I sell now, including the iconic Glug Jugs.”

In 2018, her dream became a reality. After selling her business, she made the move to Devon. Escape to the Coast gift shop opened in April that year with the fashion boutique following a year later.

Karen delighted in telling us: “It has been the best decision and it has certainly become my forever home.
And as for that coast road, well the view never fails to impress come rain or shine. If you have never seen it, you are really missing out!”
