Divided into two parts due to the mouth of the River Char this charming sandy beach is back by dramatic high-rise cliffs with shallow shores, ideal for rock pooling and exploring for fossils.

Perched along the world-renowned Jurassic Coast, enjoy both stunning views and fascinating fossils to explore with your loved ones.
