Things to Do: Beaches
Durdle Door West Beach, Nr West Lulworth, Dorset
Sand and shingle beach at the Durdle Door coastal arch
Steep steps lead down to this un-commercial beach at one of Dorset’s most recognisable coastal features. Although the water is fairly sheltered near the arch swimmers should be careful as the beach does drop away quite quickly.
Dunster North West & South East Beaches, Dunster, Somerset
Large, spacious beaches, big enough to drive your car onto!
Large sand and shingle beaches which you can drive your car onto. Safe for children. There is also a large picnic area.
The beach is quieter than some of the others in Poole and is popular with locals. The water is clean and safe and the beach is an ideal place to visit with or without children.
Rockley Sailing School, Rockley Diving Centre and the Hobbie Cat Centre are active throughout the year and provide excellent tuition and some hire facilities. There is a small beach shop and café. Rockley sands is a friendly little beach which plays host to many water activities but still manages to keep its quiet, rural charm.
Saunton Sands Beach, Nr Barnstaple, Devon (North Coast)
Three miles of flat sand backed by large dunes
The long sandy beach at Saunton has plenty of room for beach games and is the ideal place for a family day out. It’s also a popular location for water sports enthusiasts and the surfing is great for beginners.
