BEACH DAYS<br />

BEACH DAYS<br />

A good beach holiday can be building<br />

a sandcastle, relaxing with a book,<br />

exploring rock pools, hunting for fossils,<br />

watching the yachts go by, or strolling<br />

along the shore with a dog; <strong>Lyme</strong> <strong>Regis</strong><br />

has it all.<br />

Popular with families, Front Beach is<br />

a beautiful expanse of golden sand<br />

and an area of pebbles, manned by<br />

lifeguards during peak season. Toilets,<br />

food outlets and pubs are close at hand.<br />

On the pebbled Monmouth Beach<br />

you will find the ammonite graveyard,<br />

famous for the large ammonites it<br />

contains. <strong>The</strong> Undercliff National Nature<br />

Reserve is accessible from here.<br />

Church Cliff Beach, a more secluded<br />

spot, is accessed by steps and has sand<br />

in places. Low tide exposes an extensive<br />

rock ledge and rock pools.<br />

East Cliff Beach is a fossil hunter’s<br />

paradise. <strong>The</strong> cliffs here, part of the<br />

biggest landslip in Europe, should be<br />

admired from a distance. <strong>The</strong> beach is<br />

cut off at high tide so always enquire<br />

about tide times. <strong>The</strong> new Church Cliff<br />

Walk provides good access to the beach<br />

and links to Charmouth Road car park.<br />

Dogs are welcome in <strong>Lyme</strong> <strong>Regis</strong> but<br />

we ask that owners respect the<br />

restrictions in place for the enjoyment<br />

of all beach users.<br />
