About Monmouth Beach
Monmouth Beach is a beach in Lyme Regis, Dorset, England, covering an area of 23,062 square meters. OpenStreetMap lists a lifeguard station at the beach, and it is 0.54 miles from the nearest town of Lyme Regis.
Monmouth Beach is a pebble and rock beach stretching approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) westwards from the harbour at Lyme Regis, Dorset to Pinhay Bay, East Devon. It is part of the Jurassic Coast, situated below Ware Cliffs, and includes Poker's Pool, Virtle Rock and Chippel Bay. Virtle Rock is the furthest islet from the coast in Poker's Pool.
The name derives from the landing here of Duke of Monmouth in 1685 during his attempt to take the crown from King James II. Following the defeat of the Duke of Monmouth, twelve locals were hanged on the beach on the order of the notorious "Hanging Judge" Jeffreys.
