As the tide recedes, long expanses of firm sand stretch two miles with intervening rock pools and shingle banks to the foot of the cliffs. Dolphins have often been seen here!

The Jurassic limestone cliffs are continually eroding, revealing fine fossils as well as creating diverse habitats for rare plants and animals.  Visitors from all over the world visit Charmouth for its natural heritage, as well as schools, education groups and universities.

Organised Walks and Events

Organised by the Charmouth Heritage Centre, there are a range of interesting guided walks and events held looking at different aspects of the beach and foreshore.  See their latest list of walk and event dates.

Tides

If you are venturing along the coast, be aware of high and low tide times. These are displayed daily at the Heritage Centre and on notices at the beaches, but are also available in a book (approx £1) for the whole year. 

Tide times and heights may also be viewed and printed out from the  official tide prediction website.
