Before leaving the hotel for the day we asked about places along the coast to visit. A number of suggestions were offered up and we chose Lyme Regis – it’s supposed to be very beautiful and not too touristy. It was a few hours of driving, but we enjoyed seeing more of the English countryside.

\"English<\/a>

Our first sighting of the English Channel from Dorchester Road (A35), looking South.<\/p><\/div>
\nThe community itself is a small beach town. There are cabanas along the beaches, a lawn bowling club, and an aquarium\/museum on the breakwater.<\/p>\n

We arrived at low tide, surprised to see boats in the small harbor sitting on mud. Lyme Regis gets about a 3m (10ft) tide difference twice a day and the harbor was not made in deep water.

\"Lyme<\/a>

Low Tide at Lyme Regis<\/p><\/div>It was interesting to see the dual keel sailboats that stand upright rather than falling over like a typical sailboat would.<\/p>\n

The end of the breakwater protecting the harbor had this stone staircase built into it.
\n

\"Lyme<\/a>

The stone wall protecting the harbor has interesting steps leading down it. The first step is a bit disorienting.<\/p><\/div>
\nWe had lunch in a pub, watched a family launch their ski boat by backing about a hundred feet into the shallow water of the harbor, and headed back to Salisbury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
