West Bay

East Beach and East Cliff. The cliffs are composed of Bridport Sand Formation and Inferior Oolite. The Bridport Sands deposits
were laid down in the Toarcian Age toward the end of the Early Jurassic; they are arranged horizontally with clear banding visible
alternating between harder and softer material. The cliff's distinctive colour is a result of oxidisation of fine pyrite grains,
resulting in limonite.
