Monmouth Beach
Monmouth Beach at Lyme Regis is a wide, stony shore stretching west from the town towards the fossil-rich cliffs of the Jurassic Coast — a place where the past literally washes to your feet. The beach's most dramatic feature is The Cobb, the ancient stone harbour wall that curves into the sea and has sheltered mariners for centuries. It remains an endlessly atmospheric stretch of the Dorset coast.
