Short answer: Beer is steep, with a shingle beach at the bottom that is hard going with wheels. Beer Head Bistro up on the headland has easy parking and a bay view without the descent. Ask Beer Quarry Caves directly about access before you go.
Beer sits in a gap in the white chalk cliffs, and the village runs downhill to a shingle beach. The descent is short but steep, and shingle is hard going for wheels and awkward underfoot for anyone unsteady. It is a beautiful place that does not suit accessibility well.
Beer Head Bistro is up on the headland at the caravan park, with easy parking and a bay view. Good breakfasts, local ingredients and a dog-friendly room. It gives you the view of Beer without the hill.
A small open space on Sea Hill just above the beach, useful as a spot to sit with a takeaway and watch the boats. Not a destination in itself, but a flatter place to stop than the beach.
The best-rated attraction in east Devon — Roman-era underground quarries on a ninety-minute guided tour. It is underground, so the terrain inside is worth asking about directly before you travel. Phone ahead for tour times anyway.
Seaton, five minutes east, has the tramway and Seaton Wetlands — free, with level paths that are wheelchair accessible and all-terrain mobility scooters available to hire. It is the best accessible day in this corner of Devon.
