Welcome to West Bay Discovery Centre

Discover the stories of West Bay — past and present — at our friendly, award-winning visitor centre by the beach. Housed in a historic Methodist Church (featured in Broadchurch), the Centre offers interactive displays, themed exhibitions, guided walks and up-to-date local information. We’re FREE to visit, no booking needed, and open Tuesday to Sunday, 11 am – 4 pm. Come explore, learn, and make your own discoveries along the stunning Jurassic Coast! 

Don’t forget to browse our small gift area, showcasing wonderful products from local producers. We’re proud to keep entry free — but we rely on the kind donations of visitors to help us continue our work. Every contribution makes a real difference — thank you for your support!           

Accessible and Dog Friendly

Our Centre is buggy and wheelchair accessible, and our friendly volunteers are always happy to help. We are dog-friendly. Dogs should be kept on a short lead, and please be mindful of other visitors who may be nervous of dogs.
