Welcome to Bridport Harbour, West Bay
Bridport Harbour is a small harbour settlement and resort on the English Channel coast in Dorset, England, sited at the mouth of the River Brit approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of Bridport, 15 miles west of Dorchester at the western end of Chesil Beach.
The harbour is seen as an attractive place to visit and stay, making it a popular port of call.
The harbour has 163 drying moorings with the majority let for private use. There are 24 commercial moorings for either fishing vessels or passenger vessels carrying fewer than 12 people.
Fishing trips are available in the summer, including deep sea fishing. Boats can also be hired to row up the River Brit towards Bridport.
The West Bay area has several local caravan and camping sites, as well as hotels and B&Bs, both in the bay area and the surrounding villages such as Burton Bradstock. The West Bay harbour area has many kiosks serving various types of menus, including traditional fish and chips, often with locally caught fish.
