Lulworth Cove is a remarkable shell-shaped cove surrounded by high cliffs and features a lovely shelving beach. As part of the Lulworth Estate and the Purbeck Heritage Coast, it is a sand and pebble resort bay, approximately 800 metres wide, backed by cliffs. The cove's unique shape was formed around 10,000 years ago through erosion by the sea.
The cove offers a range of amenities, including ample parking, a cafe, toilets, and boat trips during the summer months to nearby attractions such as Durdle Door and Mupe Bay. The sheltered pebble beach is ideal for families and provides a safe environment for paddling in the sea. Visitors are also permitted to bring their dogs onto the beach and into nearby establishments, such as the Castle Inn.
Lulworth Cove is located close to the village of West Lulworth and is part of the world-famous Jurassic Coast. The cove is situated near several notable landmarks, including the Fossil Forest to the east, which leads to Mupe Bay, and Durdle Door to the west. Boat trips can be taken along this stretch of coastline during the summer months, offering visitors a chance to explore the area's stunning natural beauty.
Lulworth Cove is on the Purbeck Heritage Coast and the Jurassic Coast, and adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
