This
fine
shingle
beach
stretches
from
the
western
end
of
the
vast
area
of
Chesil
Beach
to
the
harbour
at
West
Bay.
The
beach
slopes
quite
steeply
into
the
sea
and
there
are
some
areas
of
sand
at
the
water’s
edge.
Because
of
this
sudden
shelving
in
the
water,
the
West
Beach
on
the
other
side
of
the
harbour
is
probably
safer
for
children
to
play
in
the
water,
although
this
is
much
smaller.
The
majestic
and
imposing
sandstone
cliffs
of
East
Cliff
form
a
dramatic
backdrop
to
the
beach.
Rising
almost
50
metres
(180ft)
vertically
above
these
spectacular
cliffs
can
be
unstable
and
visitors
should
observe
the
various
warning
signs
around
the
beach.
This
wide
expanse
of
coast
is
a
good
destination
for
beachcombing
walks
and
fossil
hunting.
East
Beach
has
been
designated
a
Site
of
Special
Scientific
Interest,
and
there
are
a
variety
of
walking
paths
in
the
vicinity.
Fans
of
TV
series
Broadchurch
may
recognise
some
of
the
scenery
here,
as
it
was
used
as
a
location
for
the
filming
of
all
three
seasons.
The
nearby
harbour
has
spaces
for
around
70
boats
and
there
are
a
good
variety
of
fish
and
chip
shops,
cafes
and
restaurants
around
the
harbour
area.
