You are here: Things To Do > Charmouth Beach
Telephone: 01297 442138
This beach is slightly shelving and is made up of pebbles and sand.
Charmouth is famous, along with Lyme Regis, for its fossils, especially in winter months due to the rough seas. Charmouth is located 2 miles from Lyme Regis and 6 miles from Bridport.
At the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre you can find out how to hunt for your own fossils by joining one of the regular guided fossil walks. Guided walks are held February - September (tides permitting).
The Coast Path continues eastwards to Lyme Regis and East Devon and westwards to Seatown.
ALWAYS FOLLOW THE FOSSIL COLLECTING CODE OF PRACTICE: COLLECTING FROM FALLEN OR BEACH MATERIAL IS ACCEPTABLE PRACTICE. DIGGING IN THE CLIFFS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE PRACTICE.
Dogs:
Dogs are welcome all year round on East Beach (the Golden Cap side of the river). From 1 October - 30 April, dogs are welcome on West Beach (the Lyme Regis side of the river) off the lead. Dogs are not allowed on West Beach from 1 May – 30 September. Signs are clearly displayed during the restriction period. Dogs should be on lead at all times within the car park and access to the beaches.
