Lovely locals pebble beach with great swimming. There is also a reef where you can snorkel and see local underwater wild life. Wonderful views across to Weymouth bay and Portland. This is the Jurassic Coast and fossils can be found here if you look in the right places. You can walk along the coast to the smugglers inn pub for lunch or a coffee. If you walk on the beach you’ll spot some boulders with fossils in! Car parking is £6 a day or £3 in the afternoon and there is a small cafe in the car park. We love to go down in the early evening for a dip when it’s quite. You can bbq on the beach, but remember always take any rubbish home.
