Durdle Door is one of Dorset’s most photogrpahed and iconic landmarks, being part of the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage site. It’s rock formation is a natural arch comprised of hard limestone that stands upright out of the sea.
The beach is approximately a 15 minute walk driectly from a car park that sits above the landmark. The walk is across a steep path and steps down onto the beach, so you’ll definitely need appropriate footwear for the trip! But the views and setting are incredible, and well worth it.
Be aware there are no toilets on the beach at Durdle Door. The nearest toilets are found at Durdle Door Holiday Park which is part of Lulworth Estate, owned and managed by the Weld Family – take a look at their website for more information and to plan your visit.
Durdle Door is a dog-friendly beach and can be enjoyed with your fury friend all year round.
