Although Charmouth is best for fossil hunting the village is VERY quiet. It is an easy walk from Seadown into the one main street for decent pubs the place does go into a coma in the evenings. A decent sandy beach for daytime (weather permitting).
Nearest towns will be Bridport or Lyme Regis. Both nice places but quiet.
Swanage is a bit livelier but as I said above you will have a short drive out to Lulworth/durdle door for fossil hunting.
Liveliest place on the jurassic coast is pobably Weymouth & then a 45 minute drive to Charmouth.
Depends what you are looking for.
