Summer Time in Charmouth & Lyme Regis
When the tide is on the turn, the gently sloping beaches of Lyme and Charmouth tempt all children to wriggle their toes in the sand.
Everyone seems to be a budding engineer. Buckets and spades are brought out to create sandcastles, moats and water courses.
Splashing around in the waves, paddle boarding for the adventurous, or going out in one of the many boats for mackerel fishing are pastimes that help add up to a lovely day beside the seaside.
Explore the Jurassic Coast by Boat

When the time comes for you to sightsee and learn the secrets and stories of the Jurassic Coast.
