West Bexington Beach

4.5/5 (15 reviews)
West Bexington Beach offers pristine shingle shores and tranquil fishing spots along the dramatic Jurassic Coast. Bring sturdy shoes—the steep pebble bank creates amazing wave sounds but amenities are limited.

Wander through 35 acres of themed gardens from Elizabethan walled spaces to Japanese landscapes. The animal park lets you get up close with rare breed farm animals and birds of prey.
