I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside...

No holiday is complete without a trip to the beach and whatever you want from your trip to the seaside this summer, the glorious sweep of West Dorset's coastline will provide it all.

Explore our Jurassic Coast, a coastal landscape made up entirely of rocks formed some 190million years ago. The age of this World Heritage coastline ensures some fantastic fossil hunting opportunities.

Discover our seaside towns and villages - our picturesque, yet bustling resorts offer the widest range of holiday activities. Some areas permit dogs on beaches all year round, so why not bring the family pet along with you?

Whether you wish to bathe, fish, dive, sail, walk or simply admire the stunning views, always remember that the coast can be a dangerous place and make sure you holiday in safety.

Let our Dorset Beaches section inspire you with its suggestions for great days out along our coastline.
