Location & Attractions

Studland is a small village on the Isle of Purbeck famous for its beaches (South Beach, Middle Beach and Knoll Beach) and Nature Reserve.

The bay is protected from the prevailing winds and storms by Old Harry Rocks, the chalk headland that separates Studland from Swanage Bay. Behind the sand dunes there is a large area of heathland - Studland Heath, and Little Sea, a fresh-water lake, which was cut off from the sea by the development of the dunes. The lake is a haven for birds and other wildlife.

Access is by chain ferry or road.
