This charming mix of sand, shingle, and harbour frontage perfectly captures the essence of a traditional English seaside resort while maintaining its status as Britain's fossil hunting capital. The main beach offers safe family bathing with lifeguard supervision, while the famous Cobb harbour wall provides sheltered swimming and stunning views immortalized in Jane Austen's 'Persuasion.' With the excellent Lyme Regis Museum, fossil shops, and guided beach walks available year-round, this beach seamlessly blends literary heritage, geological wonder, and old-fashioned seaside charm.
