Access

Roadside parking on Shore Road next to the beach. Down a few steps onto the sand.

Description

A gentle sloping golden sandy beach with a very small tidal range. Swanage is a fantastic place for sea swimming and the water is calm most of the time. This section of the beach has RNLI Lifeguards during the summer and a sectioned off swimming area.

    RNLI Lifeguards and a sectioned off swim area that is about 200m long. Top swimming spot! Toilets nearby with free tap water.
