Photographer Eve Mathews captured these great images in recent weeks of huge waves crashing into the cliffs and The Esplanade and some stunning backdrops that walkers on the promenade have been able to enjoy.

She was also on hand when Sidmouth Lifeboat was scrambled to search for a missing body boarder on New Year’s Eve.
