Monmouth Beach, Fossil beach in Lyme Regis, United Kingdom
Monmouth Beach extends for one mile along the Jurassic Coast, featuring pebbles and rocks beneath the steep Ware Cliffs toward Pinhay Bay.
The Duke of Monmouth landed on this beach in 1685 during his attempt to seize the crown, leading to the execution of twelve locals after his defeat.
Fossil hunting expeditions attract scientists and collectors who search the beach for preserved ammonites, belemnites, and Ichthyosaur vertebrae specimens.
The beach provides 200 parking spaces at the dedicated car park, with hourly rates of £1.60 and payment options including cash, card, or mobile applications.
The geological formations at Monmouth Beach date back 199 million years, containing numerous marine fossils within the exposed rock layers.
