User reviews
"The beach is peaceful and covered with pebbles and shingles. The road leading to the car park is narrow and has designated spots for pulling over. There are toilets available, as well as a shop and cafe. Additionally, there is a water bottle refilling station. It's just a short walk from the car park to the beach, and dogs are welcome too."
Lara Mitchell
"The coastal path is absolutely amazing. There is an abundance of wildlife to observe, and the views overlooking the sea are simply breathtaking. Although the walk can be a bit challenging in certain areas, having a reliable pair of walking boots will greatly help. Don't forget to bring a camera along as it is essential for capturing the beauty of this walk. Enjoy!"

What to do in Burning Cliff II? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?
If you like outdoor activities, the Burning Cliff II can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!
Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Burning Cliff II welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing.

Burning Cliff II (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 Burning Cliff II (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 Burning Cliff II 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.
