A place to enjoy, part of the jurassic coast where you might find fossils in the stones on the beach. BUT please Don't climb the cliffs or walk to close the the Base of the cliffs, it's dangerous! The cliffs can fall at anytime, not just when it rains but in the dry spell to. Also check the tide times, before attempting to walk East or West along the beach for the tips come in faster than you think. Just like a family of 4 and their dog found out on Sunday 17th Feb 2019 and, a couple who also found out two days later. Both caught out by the tide and had to be rescued by the coast guards helicoptor. This shows lack of responsibility by those people. There are warning signs that you should take notice of, for your own safety and so you can enjoy your experience. And there is an app that will tell you the tide times, and yes, the tide does go out and in twice a day, every day!

The beach has two main sections, East and West, separated by the River Char. The East Beach is generally preferred by families as it's a bit more sandy. What really sets Charmouth apart, though, is the abundant chance to find fossils. The Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre, located right on the seafront, is an invaluable resource, offering guided fossil walks and displays of incredible finds, including an Ichthyosaur. It's a fantastic day out, whether you're a seasoned palaeontologist or a first-time fossil hunter. Charmouth offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, history, and a chance for a little adventure.
