East Beach and Cliff at West Bay

This webcam offers a live view over the popular East Beach and cliff at West Bay in Dorset.

Mounted on the East pier, this camera captures the ever-changing moods of the sea, the sands of East Beach and the dramatic golden cliffs that run from West Bay to Burton Bradstock.

This is a fantastic webcam for seeing the sunrise, full moonrises over the cliffs, the light from sunset lighting up the cliffs, as well as the occasional dramatic rockfall.

The webcam is located on the pier, next to the harbour in the fishing village of West Bay, made popular by the ITV drama, Broadchurch. West Bay offers a range of activities, attractions and places to eat, such as Lyme Bay RIB Charter, Rise, Bay Paddle Boards, West Bay Discovery Centre, The Watch House Cafe and The Platform Restaurant.
