Monmouth Beach

Long shingle and pebble beach running west from the Cobb towards the Undercliff, backed by beach huts and the ammonite pavement at low tide. Dorset Council lists it as open to dogs all year with no seasonal exclusion. Steeply shelving in places, so it suits a walk more than a swim.

Hotel Alexandra

DT7 3HZ
No reviews yet

Handsome 1735 house in gardens above the Cobb, the smartest address in Lyme and the best lawn to eat lunch on. Dogs are welcome in the gardens, the bar and the sitting room, but the hotel no longer takes them in any of the bedrooms, so this is a lunch stop rather than a dog-friendly stay. Worth knowing before you book.

Lyme Regis Front Beach
Beach SOME LIMITS

Lyme Regis Front Beach

Dogs banned MAY–SEP

The sandy town beach below Marine Parade, the one families aim for and the one dogs are shut out of in season. Dorset Council's order allows dogs here from 1 October to 30 April only. Monmouth Beach to the west and Church Cliff Beach to the east are open all year, and both are a two-minute walk away.
