Monmouth Beach is situated to the west of the harbour, extending a kilometre south west of the Cobb wall.
It’s predominately a pebble beach with rocky outcrops becoming more prominent as you move west along the coast. It’s also a good beach for fossil hunters – at the western end there’s a layer of limestone, known as the ‘ammonite graveyard’ or ‘ammonite pavement’, which is famous for the large ammonites it contains. With a bit of patience and some luck, you may well find a small ammonite or two. If you want to be assured of success with your fossil hunting, arrange to go out with a fossil guide. Lyme Regis Museum leads guided fossil walks.
