The Purbecks ‘Something Special’

The Purbeck coast is truly something special and has something on offer for everyone, whether you want to spend your time relaxing on the soft sand beaches, exploring the coast path or hunting for fossils and walking in the footsteps of dinosaurs.

 

Jurassic Coast

Most of Purbeck lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and now, with the coastline being designated as the Jurassic Coast part of England’s first natural World Heritage Site, it is clear for all to see that Purbeck is truly something very special.

 

The Coast Path

The South West Coast Path follows the whole of our coastline starting at Shell Bay. For 27 miles you can experience the glorious sandy beaches, dramatic cliff tops, incredible rock formations, spectacular geological features and hidden coves that make up the Purbeck coastline.

 

Wildlife

Whilst enjoying the coast keep your eyes peeled for the wide array of wildlife that calls Purbeck it’s home, from birds including puffins, razorbills and guillemots, to sealife including dolphins and porpoises and beautiful plant life including early spider, flowering bee and pyramidal orchids.

 

By the Sea

If you are looking to spend a day by the sea, Purbeck has an array of beaches to suit everyone, from safe family beaches to remote bays. The sea along the Purbeck coast is generally calm, making it a safe place for children to play and ideal for long leisurely swims. The golden sands of Studland Beach and Shell Bay stretch for miles, giving you the option of staying close to the facilities or finding a more secluded spot. To be at the heart of the action, head for Swanage Bay with its sandy beach and bustling town. The rocky ledges at Kimmeridge are ideal for rock pooling. Along the coast at Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door you will find dramatic scenery that has been inspiring people for generations.
