The name Beer has nothing to do with the alcoholic beverage, but rather a derivation of the Anglo-Saxon word bearu meaning "grove". In the old days it was a smugglers' cove, a fact that makes it an attractive tourist destination today.

The traditional occupation here are fishing and lace making, though nowadays tourism forms a vital part of the local economy. The coastline of Beer is composed of pebble, which makes walking difficult.

Quarrying activities in Beer has left an enormous network of cavities in the cliff, known as the Beer Quarry Caves. Quarrying of beer stones goes back to Roman times. Many of the cathedrals in the country make use of Beer stone, including Exeter Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral.
