This live camera looks out over the Lyme Regis area on the Dorset coast, where traditional cottages sit close to the sea. It is useful for checking conditions on the shore before you plan a walk or a day by the water. The live player, local time and forecast are all shown on this page.
Lyme Regis is a small harbour town on the Dorset coast, set between cliffs at the western edge of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. It has long been known for its fossils, especially ichthyosaur remains found in the surrounding cliffs and beaches. The Cobb, an old curved stone harbour wall, is one of its best-known features. The mix of pastel cottages, steep streets and open sea gives the town a distinctly seaside character that changes with the tide and light.
Depending on the view, the camera may show cottage frontages, the seafront and the sea beyond. Sea conditions, cloud movement and the light on the water are typically most interesting in the early morning and late afternoon. In summer, you may see more people walking along the front, while winter views often show stronger waves and a quieter promenade. Check the live player and weather block to judge conditions before you go.
Dorset has a mild maritime climate, and spring and early autumn are often the most comfortable seasons for walking the coast. Strong winds can come off the Channel at any time of year, so a windproof layer is sensible. Nearby, the village of Charmouth lies about 3 km away and is also covered by a camera on this site, as are Seatown, Symondsbury and Eype further along the coast.
