Lulworth Cove

About

The pebble beach and blue waters of Lulworth Cove make it an extremely popular destination.

The Cove and surrounding coastline are part of the world famous Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

Low tide reveals wonderful rock pools teeming with sea creatures – great for exploring with children.

The Cove and surrounding countryside are hugely popular with walkers. You can walk to the cove along the South West Coast Path national trail.

Dogs are allowed on the beach all year to the left hand side of the slipway. Please make sure you clear up after your dog.

The Cove offers a variety of places to eat and there is a large car park (fee payable). Make sure you visit the Heritage Centre next to the car park for all kinds of information about the area and the Jurassic Coast. There are toilets with wheelchair accessible and baby changing facilities at the Heritage Centre.

You can join in with a variety of activities including coasteering and kayaking with Lulworth Outdoors, which are based at the Heritage Centre.

It is just a short walk to other famous landmarks along the coast such as Stair Hole and Durdle Door. Stair Hole is reputed to be the inspiration for the location of Enid Blyton’s book ‘The Rubadub Mystery’. The coast around Lulworth is a fantastic place to see blow holes, caves, arches and coves.

We recommend visiting between September and May when the beach and roads will be quieter. If you do want to visit during peak times, we recommend that you use public transport, walk or cycle, or if you are driving, it is best to arrive early or late in the day to guarantee a parking space.
