Things to Do: Beaches
Fine beaches stretch continuously for 3 miles from South Haven Point to the Chalk cliffs of Handfast Point and Old Harry Rocks, and include Shell Bay and a designated naturist area.
Beautiful gravel and sand beach backed by magnificent cliffs, including Golden Cap, the highest cliff on the south coast at 191m above sea level.
An idyllic strip of sandy beach bordering Christchurch Harbour and adjacent to the ancient headland of Hengistbury Head. A picturesque, peaceful site without vehicular access.
The beach is in a quiet rural location and is ideal for those who are looking for a peaceful day out. It was once used by smugglers and is now a popular location for fossil hunters.
