点评:Friday 25th April and we visited West Bay, a picturesque town and harbour along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset.
There are two beaches here, East and West, this one is the larger of the two, however the sheltered West Beach is considered the safer one.
The crescent shaped beach is flanked at one end by a rocky groyne, at East Pier which juts out into the sea and the mighty West Bay Cliffs at the other.
The golden coloured cliffs are about 50 metres high, but due to rock falls and landslides visitors are asked to keep away from the Cliffs.
Back in December 2024 part of the cliff collapsed blocking access along the beach to Freshwater.
The beach itself consists of a mixture of very fine shingle and sand, it slopes down towards the water's of the Atlantic Ocean.
From here there are great views along the Jurassic Coast towards Chesil Beach and Portland. It is also a very popular walking area.
There is a lifeguard on duty here during the months of July to September
翻译:4月25日,星期五,我们参观了西湾,这是多塞特郡侏罗纪海岸沿线一个风景如画的小镇和港口。
这里有两个海滩,东海滩和西海滩,西海滩较大,但西海滩避风,被认为是更安全的。
这片新月形的海滩一端是岩石堑壕,位于东码头,伸入大海,另一端是雄伟的西湾悬崖。
金色的悬崖高约50米,但由于岩石坠落和山体滑坡,游客被要求远离悬崖。
早在2024年12月,部分悬崖坍塌,阻挡了通往淡水海滩的通道。
海滩本身由非常细腻的卵石和沙子混合而成,向大西洋倾斜。
从这里可以欣赏到侏罗纪海岸沿线切瑟尔海滩和波特兰的壮丽景色。这里也是一个非常受欢迎的步行区。
七月至九月期间,这里有救生员值班。
