Axminster and its attractions for beach lovers
While Axminster itself is not directly on the coast, it's a short drive away from stunning beaches that are perfect for families and adventure-seekers alike. Just a 15-minute drive will take you to Lyme Regis, a charming seaside town known for its beautiful sandy beaches and fossil hunting along the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Families can enjoy a day at the beach, exploring the famous Cobb, or embarking on a boat trip to watch the local marine life. For those interested in natural beauty, the nearby Charmouth Beach offers a quieter setting and is ideal for leisurely strolls and picnics with picturesque views. You can also visit the historic Lyme Regis Museum to learn about the town's maritime heritage. After a day of exploration, you can unwind in one of the cozy hotels or B&Bs in Axminster, where attentive service and comfortable accommodations await. The area is known for its welcoming atmosphere, which makes it easy for families to relax and recharge before heading back to the beach for another day of fun.
