You can walk to Westbay through the Bothenhampton Nature Reserve. There you will be by the harbour and the beach, the south west coast path and the Jurassic coast. You may recognise it from The TV series Broadchurch.

Famous for it's stunning sandstone cliffs and working harbour. West Bay is a wonderful place to spend your time. Choose from paddle boarding, swimming, hiring a rowing boat to explore the river, or just enjoying fish and chips on the pier.

There are some fine restaurants and take aways at West Bay including the Station Kitchen, Rachels and Seagulls with 3 pubs The Bridport Arms, The West Bay and the George. Lots of smaller fish and chip shops/cafe's but the surprise is at the Customs House where you can browse away or have a good meal and sample some gin from its own distillery.

Featured in The Good Beach Guide, West Bay has two beaches, East Beach and West Beach. East Beach is a sloping, shingle beach backed by magnificent sandstone cliffs. The scenery is truly spectacular here, the golden cliffs rise 50m vertically above the beach and the views towards Chesil Beach and Portland will take your breath away. TV buffs will recognise this beach from ITV crime drama, Broadchurch. West Beach is a smaller, quieter beach popular with young families, the protective cove formed between the harbour’s Jurassic Pier and the Esplanade’s rock armour groynes making it safe and shallow for paddling. The Jurassic Pier, which is 240 metres long, was significantly improved in 2004. It has wheelchair access and plenty of seating. A restored 18th century cannon can be found on the pier. There’s plenty to do at West Bay, take a stroll around the harbour for an ice cream or fish and chips, climb the coast path up to the top of the cliffs, hire a rowing boat up the River Brit or join a fishing trip out from the harbour, all the ingredients for a chilled out day on the coast. In the summer, a lifeguard services watches over the waters of both beaches and there is an auxilary coastguard. A trip down to West Bay beach is equally wonderful in the winter months; enjoy a blustery walk beach combing and fossil hunting and warm up with a nice hot mug of tea in one of West Bay’s many cafes. If you’re after hygge moments, you’ll find them here!
