The beach at Lyme
Town Beach
Sand has been imported from France to cover Town Beach near The Cobb. This beach is the most popular beach with tourists as it is close to Marine Parade and the lively pubs and restaurants here. These include The Cobb Arms, The Bay Hotel, The Harbour Inn and The Rock Point Inn farther back on Broad Street.
There is enough sand here to build sandcastles.
Monmouth Beach
Monmouth Beach gets its name from the Duke of Monmouth who landed here in a failed attempt to overthrow King James II in 1685. Twelve local people were hanged here by the infamous Judge Jeffreys as punishment for the failed rebellion.
Jurassic Coast
This stretch of coastline is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast which also includes nearby Seaton and Durdle Door.
