West Bay Beach
Again, you have a few options with how to get there, you can walk 45mins or drive in 5 minutes.
Parking prices have doubled in the few months, I would check prices before parking. Most carparks now use the JustPark app.
Walking, you can leave the house, take a right and walk to the beach, if the tide is out walk along the beach (staying clear of the cliffs).
Otherwise, turn right out of the house, take the field to Freshwater (bowling, swimming etc), there is a gate at the top of the hill, the gate is a public footpath through the golf course to west bay.

Nice beach, a bit quieter than Hive or West Bay. The pub serves excellent food, they also have a boat house that sells pizza and cider on the beach :)
Getting there, 15-20 minute drive, Seatown is a turn off in Chideok.
If you are feeling brave/energetic, you can walk it in 2 hours, I take the kids (5 & 6) once a month - be warned, some of the hills are really steep.

Fantastic for fossil hunting, walk 20-30 minutes to the left (from the carpark - facing the sea).
We always find tons of belemnites and ammonites.
There isn't much in the way of food near the beach, a small snack shack on the beach but the choice isn't great. Take a packed lunch or find a local pub.

The Anchor Inn in Burton Bradstock. Not as good as the Horsehoes, but still serves really good food. You may have to book in for Sunday lunch, but you can generally just turn up.
5 minute walk from the house, just past the Horseshoes.
