Dorset is famed for its breath-taking blue-flag sandy beaches, from Swanage to Bournemouth, offering endless opportunities for exploration and relaxation. Whether you fancy a refreshing dip in the briny, a stroll along the shoreline, or enjoying classic fish and chips as the sun sets over the horizon, Dorset’s coast promises unforgettable moments. Whilst you are here, why not hire a beach hut as a coastal retreat where you can sit back, relax and take in the sea breeze? Beach huts are available to hire for up to four weeks, and there are also accessibility options available at Boscombe Beach if required.

For those looking to get out on the water, the coastline is perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking, windsurfing and kitesurfing, while Poole Harbour offers excellent conditions for watersports enthusiasts of all abilities. Bournemouth Pier is another must-visit, whether you’re taking in the coastal views, enjoying the attractions or experiencing the Pier-to-Shore Zip Wire.

When it’s time to refuel, you’ll find an array of fantastic restaurants dotted along the coastline. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or sunset drinks at Rockwater overlooking Branksome Chine Beach, savour fresh seafood and harbour views at Rick Stein Sandbanks, or try the popular Alum Beach Hut
