Seatown is a small coastal hamlet with a privately-owned shingle shelving beach. It is located 3 miles south west of Bridport and about 7.5 miles east of Lyme Regis. This part of the coast forms part of the Jurassic Coast, a world heritage site stretching for 96 miles.
Seatown Beach isn’t widely known by many people so is much quieter than nearby beaches such as West Bay. However it’s a favourite with locals, fishermen, fossil hunters and walkers. It’s a great starting point for the Seatown to Golden Cap walk to the west and the Seatown to Thorncombe Beacon walk to the east.
