West Bay is a small harbour settlement on the English Channel coast in Dorset, England, sited at the mouth of the River Brit. West Bay is also part of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site. West Bay was once a thriving rope and net exporter, however that began to decline in the second half of the 19th century. Today West Bay has a mixed economy of tourism and fishing.
