Beer Quarry Caves sind ehemalige unterirdische Kalk-Steinbrüche in der Nähe von Beer in der Grafschaft Devon an der englischen Ärmelkanalküste. Das Dorf Beer liegt etwa zwei Kilometer westlich von Seaton und 13 Kilometer östlich von Sidmouth. Den Eingang zu dem Höhlenkomplex liegt etwa einen Kilometer westlich vom Dorfzentrum und einen Kilometer westlich von Branscombe. Seit dem frühen 20. Jahrhundert wird kein Stein mehr abgebaut. Seither wurden einige der Höhlen dazu verwendet, Pilze zu kultivieren. Heute gibt es vom Frühling bis Herbst Führungen durch die Höhlen.

Beer Quarry Caves is a man-made limestone underground complex located about a mile west of the village of Beer, Devon, and the main source in England for beer stone. The tunnels resulted from 2,000 years of quarrying beer stone, which was particularly favoured for cathedral and church features such as door and window surrounds because of its colour and workability for carving. Stone from the quarry was used in the construction of several of southern England's ancient cathedrals and a number of other important buildings as well as for many town and village churches, and for some buildings in the United States. Extraction was particularly intense during the Middle Ages, but continued until the 1920s. An adit to another set of workings can be seen from the South West Coast Path east of Bransc

An adit to another set of workings can be seen from the South West Coast Path east of Branscombe, having been exposed by a landslip in the late 18th century. The quarry is part of the Jurassic Coast, and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
