With a safe and sandy beach, fabulous coastal walks, independant shopping and a calendar full of events to entertain one and all, Lyme Regis is not short of interesting things to see and do!
Family friendly beaches
Lyme Regis offers a variety of beaches to suit everyone’s tastes!
Why not pack up your bucket and spade and head to Lyme Regis' sandtastic Town Beach. Let the kids (and grown-ups!) get creative building and creating magnificent sandcastles and sea creatures. Take time out from the busy building and splash around in the sea or play a game or two of bat and ball or you could just sit back, relax and feel the sand between your toes!! There’s nothing like a bit of beach therapy and Lyme Regis offers it in bucket loads!
Head over to Monmouth Beach and hunt for some fossils and marvel at the layer of limestone called the ammonite graveyard or the ammonite pavement due to the large number of ammonites it contains. Why not follow in the footsteps of Mary Anning and try and uncover your very own Ichthyosaur!
The Cobb, Lyme Regis
A trip to Lyme Regis wouldn’t be complete without a stroll around the iconic Cobb harbour.
Take a walk along The Cobb on a clear day and you will be rewarded with some of the finest views along the coast. If it’s a bit grey and murky outside then don’t despair as this is when The Cobb is full of atmosphere!
The Cobb is steeped in history. Meryl Streep brought fame to the iconic Cobb standing motionless all clad in black and Jane Austen’s novel, Persuasion, was written and part set here.
Full of history, romance and scenery, The Cobb is a beautiful place just to sit, watch and dream.
