Located at the western end of Lyme Regis, this quieter shingle beach offers fossil hunters and dog walkers a more peaceful alternative to the town's main beach, with equally productive fossil beds but fewer crowds. The beach provides excellent access to the Undercliff, a unique landslip wilderness that creates a jungle-like microclimate supporting rare plants and wildlife found nowhere else in Britain. With the South West Coast Path running alongside and spectacular views toward Golden Cap, Dorset's highest cliff, Monmouth Beach serves as the perfect starting point for exploring this extraordinary stretch of unstable coastline.
The nearest food and drink options sit on the Harbour end of the beach including:
Cobb Arms: This historic pub is located near the famous Cobb harbour and serves up delicious pub grub and local ales. It also has a lovely outdoor seating area with views of the harbour.
Beach House Cafe: This family-run cafe is located right on the beach and serves up breakfast, lunch and snacks. It also has a lovely outdoor seating area where you can enjoy views of the sea.
