Visiting Lulworth Cove in 2016


The beautiful white pebble beach of Lulworth Cove, with its blue waters and easy access make it a popular destination. Low tide reveals wonderful rock pools teeming with sea creatures. Dogs are permitted on the left hand side of the slipway.

The Cove offers a variety of places to eat and there is a large car park (fee payable). Make sure you visit the Heritage Centre next to the car park for all kinds of information about the area and the Jurassic Coast. There are toilets with disabled and baby changing facilities at the Heritage Centre. Boat trips are available during the summer. (Source: Visit Dorset)

All photos were taken with a micro four thirds camera (older version of https://amzn.to/2Kpl3dR) attached with the standard kit lens (https://amzn.to/33kH3Ox).

After resting and quick change of clothes for the children at Durdle Door car park, we head down to Lulworth Cove to have lunch and continue our sight-seeing. We asked around how to get there and we were just basically told to follow the signs and the people. Luckily, it didn't took us long to find it. Normally, Lulworth Cove is just 10 minutes drive from Durdle Door.

The place was already packed full of people when we arrived and fortunately we were still able to find spaces in the car park nearby. We had lunch first. We took our time enjoying our fish and chips and some cold treats as it was already a very hot and sunny day.

All we did in the cove was to enjoy the view, the children had a quick play at the beach before we headed to the top of a hill to just sit down and did more viewing of the beautiful scenes below. We opted out of the boat trips unlike some of the visitors that day.

After a couple of hours stay in Lulworth Cove, we headed back to Poole with our well-tanned bodies. The Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove experience was one great memory we took back home!
