My Favourite beach
Love this place for an evening stroll or a day at a not quite so busy beach. There is a cafe there, a beach, a park, toilets and a watersports business.

Park
When the beaches are packed, head here for some quiet time. You can hire pedalos & paddle boards from here, plus there is a cafe.

Neighbourhoods
Beautiful and quirky little town just outside of poole. Buses are available, but you would need to get the 1st bus into Poole Bus Station 1st. The Minster is a stunning building and eateries are a plenty. It is such a pretty place and has a market on a Saturday Morning

Sightseeing
If you want ease of parking, go early. This place is fabulous and also very busy. It is well worth the countless steps down then back up. Take a swimsuit & a picnic blanket for the full experience. This is not for someone who has difficulties walking. Parking is not free

You'll see the rocks in the distance from our beaches, so why not take a look at them a bit closer. Again, not really for someone who has difficulties walking. Stunning scenery though

City/town information
A little coastal town that makes you feel you have gone back in time. The beach is beautiful, the Downs are worth a wander up and then there are the coastal walks up at Durleston.
Lots of places to eat at Swanage and little shops. They still have a Wimpy fastfood place!!

A National Trust must see in my eyes. The ruins of Corfe Castle are fabulous. You could tie this in with a visit to Swanage or Studland too as it is on route.
