Overview
- East Beach in West Bay served as the main beach filming location for ITV's Broadchurch.
- The golden cliffs stand about 50 metres high and form part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
- West Bay supplied many on-screen settings such as the harbour and café, and Clevedon in North Somerset also stood in for parts of the town.
- Visitor numbers have risen since 2013, with a small survey of 60 tourism firms saying most saw higher trade tied to the series.
- The coast is prone to rockfalls, and West Beach has RNLI lifeguards from July to September, making it the safer family spot.
