Breathtaking views of the cliffs and the sea make this a great place to hike and, in the summer, definitely swim. I recommend staying at the nearby Durdle Door Holiday Park.

Hiking

The Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site stretching 95 miles from Exmouth in East Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset, is renowned for its dramatic and varied coastal landscape, characterized by steep hills and towering cliffs. These features are a direct result of millions of years of geological history, spanning the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods (250 to 65 million years ago), where different rock types have been subjected to varying degrees of erosion.
