Back Beach, also known as East Cliff, stretches along from Lyme Regis towards Charmouth West Beach. This beautiful part of the coast is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and the beach is backed by cliffs known as the Spittles.

The rock formations are of great geological interest but visitors must be aware that the cliffs are unstable and are prone to landslides.
