Season: autumn
West Bay sits just to the west of St Mildred’s Bay, separated from it by high chalk cliffs. It is sandy with rock pools, making it popular with families. As a frequent Blue Flag award winner, there is seasonal lifeguard cover and the bathing water is clean, so this is a fine beach to swim from. You can also enjoy excellent sunsets here, perhaps sipping a drink or having a meal at the cafe, which opens in the evenings.
