The village of Beer is in south-east Devon, England, and situated on the famous Jurassic Coast. Historically, the main sources of income for the village include fishing and lace production. Fishing still exists today, however it operates at a lower level. As Beer has no harbour, small electrically driven winches using steel cables or tractors are located on the beach to haul boats in. In addition to fishing, tourism also provides an economy.[1]
