Lyme Regis Harbour - Dorset, UK

Colorful beach huts, stacked kayaks and a busy sandy beach line the harbor at Lyme Regis, a seaside town in Dorset, England. On summer weekends it fills with families, paddleboarders and boats heading out to sea, and in winter it's quieter, with storms sometimes rolling in off the English Channel.

The long curved stone wall protecting the harbor is the Cobb, which has been sheltering boats here for around 700 years and later starred in the novel and film The French Lieutenant's Woman.

Lyme Regis sits on the Jurassic Coast, famous worldwide for its fossils, and people still find ancient shells and bones on the beaches here. Further east along the coast is Golden Cap, the highest cliff on England's south coast.

Did You Know? In the early 1800s, a local girl named Mary Anning found the first complete ichthyosaur skeleton near Lyme Regis.
