Why West Bay?
West Bay is really a village that offers something for everyone, from its glorious beaches where you can sunbathe, build sandcastles, or take to the clear waters on a kayak, boat, or canoe, to fishing at the village's central harbour, perfect for keen anglers or simply just watching the world go by. Well-known for its appearance on the hit ITV show Broadchurch, you can spot your favourite landmarks from the show as you enjoy a leisurely stroll around the harbour, before taking advantage of the fresh seafood on offer from a selection of surrounding restaurants and cafes.
