Seatown beach in Dorset is a stunning spot with golden sands and clear waters – and the best part is you can park your car right on the beach before enjoying a drink at the nearby pub

The sea might be a bit nippy, but the weather is still mild and a day trip to the beach is a cracking way to spend a sunny day. It’s even better if there’s a pub just a stone’s throw from the beach. Dorset is one part of the UK blessed with stunning beaches.

A short drive from Lyme Regis, you’ll find the charming village of Seatown which boasts a splendid beach where you can literally park your car right next to the sand. Once you’ve arrived, you can either head straight for the beach or take a stroll along one of the breathtaking cliffs that offer panoramic views over Golden Cap and beyond.

For those in need of a drink after a day on the beach, The Anchor Inn is a snug pub located right by the water’s edge. Famous for its seafood, visitors come here to enjoy a glass of wine and savour the fresh fish dishes whilst taking in the spectacular views.

Seatown is a mesmerising spot, especially during the height of summer when a pizza oven and a cafe shack serving top-quality coffee are set up directly on the beach.

It’s also incredibly handy with parking available near the beach, making it a perfect location for a family day out by the sea, reports Devon Live.

For those who fancy staying a bit longer, there’s a delightful campsite located right on the beach, complete with excellent picnic areas and its own grocery shop.

Alternatively, you could book a room at the pub and settle in for the night.
