4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Nicer than we thought it would be - good to walk up the downs too.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Lovely but steps down rather steep and advice to get to slope further along coast would help if this is possible.

Studland Beach and Nature Reserve
I'd never heard of this little place until Monday. A short detour downhill from the SW coastal path and you will find yourself here. This is a wave cut platform formed over thousands of years. The layered geology of the landscape is so clear to see as you climb down onto the platform or the dancefloor as it is known.
