User reviews
"This coastal region boasts breathtaking views that are sure to leave you in awe. It's an ideal location for those who enjoy hiking, although the terrain can be challenging with steep inclines and declines. The trek from Lulworth to Durdle Door, spanning just over a mile, is an absolute must-do for its sheer beauty. Don't be deterred by the season, as the area remains equally..."

"The beach was nothing but a disappointment. The scenery was lackluster and unimpressive. I have no desire to return. The guided swim out to Stair Hole was mediocre at best. I would not recommend this beach to anyone, especially if you enjoy swimming, kayaking or paddle boarding."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Lulworth Cove (Dorset) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Lulworth Cove (Dorset) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Lulworth Cove for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
