What to do in Lyme regis beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Lyme regis beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

It is difficult to think of any entertainment and activities when you are on the beach. To swim, to sunbathe, to drink a couple of cocktails, again to swim and again to sunbathe, the variety usually is very limited. But on Lyme regis beach you can test yourself in such an activity as water jumping. It's fun and it's scary, the rest you have to experience on your own. There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale. If you are a fan of this kind of entertainment, you can do your favorite activity at Lyme regis beach. See what our users think about it in the reviews section.

The beach is absolutely fantastic, offering both sandy and pebbly areas for visitors to enjoy. However, it's worth noting that parking can be a bit of a challenge, as the lot is located up a hill. To secure a spot on a hot summer day, it's best to arrive by 11am. The cost for parking ranges from £4+ for a few hours to £10 for the entire day. On my recent visit, the machines were out of service, but thankfully, there were apps available to pay. Another great feature of this beach is the 5g coverage, which is perfect for staying connected while soaking up the sun. Overall, I highly recommend this beach for a fun and relaxing day out.

The beach is an excellent spot for families with children! The sandy beach is adorned with shells, stones, and grass, providing a diverse range of activities for kids. The ice cream was a delicious treat, but be cautious of the seagulls! During peak hours, the car park can be a bit of a challenge. Despite the weather being less than ideal, we had a fantastic time! Overall, it was a fantastic day out. Thank you, tlb reviews!
