Wonderful kayak tour with Elliot where we learned a great deal about the history of Studland bay and the importance of marine preservation there, as well as having a lot of fun and a good work out! Perfect thing to do with teens on a wet or sunny day

Studland to Swanage Trail

A spectacular walk on the South West Coast Path that takes you from the village of Studland past the famous landmark of Old Harry – the eastern end of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site - and on to Swanage.

Reviewed By davidgZ9308PO - Crowthorne, United Kingdom

We walked from South beach car park up to Old Harry's Rocks then up to Ballard Down , then back to the village. The views are amazing and although you are ascending all the time, it is quite gentle climb. Worth going early to get parked but also before the crowds

Studland Trekking Centre

A friendly trekking centre, near the beach, on the Dorset coast. Great forward going rides for experienced riders and safe picturesque rides for beginners.

Reviewed By X7004SXrobertp - Ringwood, United Kingdom

I was lucky enough to be the only rider booked in for a weekday Old Harry rocks ride, a birthday treat which had been delayed due to lock down so the stables had only been re-opened for a short time. The horses, Percy for Brady and Rhubarb for myself, looked really well after their rest and proved to have enthusiasm to match! Rhubarb is a happy, forward going little cob who was always waiting for the next canter and launched himself into gallop whenever he was allowed! I thoroughly enjoyed myself (I think we all did) and it was good to take time to take in the stunning views from the top of the downs. I am used to riding in the fantastic New Forest but this was something quite different. A great ride, thank you Brady. I will be coming again later in the year and would be very happy to ride Rhubarb again.

Shell Bay

Reviewed By DavidL408 - Christchurch, United Kingdom

This is a beautiful wide sandy beach with sand dunes behind that has stunning views out to sea - back towards the Haven Hotel at Sandbanks or across to Old Harry Rocks. The shoreline walk takes approx. 1 hour to 1hour 15 mins and brings you to the National Trust at Studland Bay with a cafe and toilets including lots of tables and chairs outdoors. Around the next corner you will also find the Middle Beach Cafe which provides a wide variety of hot food including kiddies meals, home made cakes etc. Both of these cafes are an ideal place to take a rest, have some food and drink or an ice cream before heading back to the Sandbanks Ferry. Highly recommended and little changed since we first used to visit here with our children over 30 years ago.

Middle Beach Studland Bay

Reviewed By Tracey1169 - Willenhall, United Kingdom

As the names suggests it’s the middle bit of beach. It has a good size NT car park, but it did get full very quickly. There’s also a small cafe just down the dunes. It has a nice walk to Fort Henry which is part of the WW2 defences carry on down the path which is a lovely nature walk and you’ll also see Old Harry Rocks. The beach it’s self is sandy an the Bay would be great for swimming. If you go the other way you’ll see the impressive dragons teeth which is also part of the defences.
