A great Dog Walk this time of year as it’s less busy than the Summer months and dogs can be off the lead!
Although famous for its naturist beach, Studland stretches for 3 miles and is a popular spot for families in the summer (the naturist beach is only in the centre section of the beach). You can also walk from Studland to Swanage, past Old Harry Rocks. Studland can be reached either by the chain ferry from Sandbanks in Poole, or you can approach it via Corfe Castle/Swanage. There is a café and Car Park at Knoll. Great for a gentle beach stroll.
National Trust.
We welcome dogs all year round, but to make sure everyone enjoys themselves, please keep your dog on a lead of less than 2m anywhere on the beach between 1 May and 30 September.
From 1 October to 30 April dogs can be walked on the beach off the lead but please respect others – see doggie do’s, below.
Knoll Beach Café
Well behaved dogs are welcome in the outside seating area at the café where there are shelters, water bowls, dog ties and shade.
