Today we drove to Lyme Regis, a small but quaint seaside town with a funny name. There are lots of shops, minimal kitsch, and even a sand beach! I think the sand beach has been imported though, as it’s very small and next to a much larger pebble beach.

We spent some time sat on the beach in the sun watching (and watching out for) the enormous and fierce looking seagulls. Nice place to spend an afternoon.

Good detective work. Phase 2 of 3 stages of sea defence work has recently been completed. It included a sandy beach with sand from France, the one of shingle was more locally gathered from off the Isle of Wight and perhaps you noticed the large boulders at the end of the Cobb (harbour wall)they came from Norway.
