    Tips

    Hiking

    Swanage beach stretches along the town's entire seafront and is mostly sandy with some pebble sections. There's plenty to do here, and the beach has lifeguards at the swimming section during the summer months. Hire pedalos, go kayaking, take a dip or just relax on the sand, the choice is yours! Sheltered from the prevailing south westerlies, Swanage is often fairly calm and is a great place to head into the water.

    Hiking

    The stairs from the beach up to the cliffs are closed as they are eroded away. There is no sign at the bottom but there is at the top.
