CJ Hamilton saw a shot saved by Jack Bycroft, while both Joel Randall and James Husband fired attempts off target from close range.
The opener eventually came just before the half-hour mark, with Bloxham lifting a half-volley over the Exeter goalkeeper after a ball over the top from Reuell Walters.
Bailey Peacock-Farrell denied both Jayden Wareham and Jack Aithison either side of the break to keep Blackpool in front, while Hayden Coulson fired over the crossbar at the other end.
Ultimately one goal proved to be enough for the Seasiders as they made it 10 points from their last four matches.
