Kayakers often drive through the small cave. It is beautiful to look at and the colorful kayaks with the turquoise sea make a beautiful photo opportunity

Bat's Head is a chalk headland on the Dorset coast. At the base of the headland is a small bat's cave. From atop the cliffs, you are afforded wonderful views over the coastline and to the magnificent rock arch of Durdle Door. The small chalk rock that stands alone in the sea is called Butter Rock.
