As you can see from the pictures, Lulworth Cove, is a breathtaking natural coved beach. It is located a short walk down from the village of West Lulworth on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset.

This magnificent geological horseshow-shaped bay was formed by the sea breaking through the Portland stone. It  is one of the world’s best examples of a landform.

The water is a stunning blue colour and is particularly impressive when viewed from the cliffs above.  Because it is a fairly easy walk up the cliffs,  you don’t have to walk far to enjoy magnificent views over the bay.

Dogs are permitted all year round on the left side of the slipway leading down to the beach.  There are toilets next to the beach and next to the Visitor’s Centre.

You can access the cove from the  car park, but this does get quite busy in peak season.  The famous Durdle Door is just 10 minutes away by car.  Or alternatively, a picturesque 30-minute coastal walk from Lulworth Cove. And indeed the iconic rock arch is indeed something to behold.  Two stunning locations within easy access of each other!

Lulworth Cove is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and when you visit, it is easy to see why.
