Beach Quality
Pros:

Parking and Accessibility
Pros:
"Parking is limited, cars only on the harbour, and no motorhomes allowed at all, so a very long walk up to the car park if you have a motorhome with you."
"Not very wheelchair friendly either the walk down, they have a lovely coastal built walk way up to the carpark at the top of the hill, only down side is lots of steps and half way and no good for wheelchairs, prams could probably be bumped up the steps at a push."
"Parking is expensive and I mean expensive I even parked in the further away car park, also it appears to be a scarce commodity."
"But the actual Jurassic coast and fossils was completely amazing! Worth a view and good fun."
"I would check your tide times to makes sure that you hit it just right and also try and avoid busy times because it soon became swarming with people."
"Parking might be a hassle in the summer holidays, but outside of that there are plenty of paid areas to go to."
"Since I found this beach and town, I take any excuse to get back there!"
"Parking is limited and expensive, but there are some free spots if you're willing to walk a bit."
Cons:
"One point that I must make is that parking in Lyme Regis is very expensive and rather restrictive."
"Some of the retailers and managers of food outlets complain that visitors do not always stay long enough to spend money or have a sit down meal."
"Parking is even more expensive in summer."
"Parking can be a nightmare, probably best arriving early if you're in a car."
"A fantastic seaside town and beach that's well worth the money for the car park which was £1.60 an hour."
"So clean and many food and ice cream outlets."
"A lovely walk along the promenade which is flat and wheelchair friendly."
"The beaches are both sand and pebble in different locations plus an enclosed area for dogs to run free and swim too."
Food and Amenities
Pros:
"The harbour has a lot of restaurants and public toilets along the front, so it's good for that, the cobbles are not that wheelchair friendly either."
"Had lunch in a cafe on the front ..absolutely great value for money nd umbrella was up as started to rain slightly while we were there.. Great service and friendly though in the cafes."
"The shops are all on the side streets up the hills so couldn't do alot as had the wheelchair and the street pavements are not that big to get one up really..."
"Its a nice place to visit, It was quiet today but I'm sure in peak times and summer it will be difficult to park and get about at the bottom."
"Always good to see the R NL I with a shop to raise funds."
"But the actual Jurassic coast and fossils was completely amazing! Worth a view and good fun."
"I would check your tide times to makes sure that you hit it just right and also try and avoid busy times because it soon became swarming with people."
"The harbour has a lot of restaurants and public toilets along the front, so it's good for that."
Cons:
"A great place to visit, sights and walks, but in the half term break, a sausage bap was £5, and the carpark we stayed on cost £15 all day."
"But on our visit, sun was out, but what looked like raw sewage was being pumped into the Sea, so no swimming for us....🤢🤢"
