Dog-friendly beaches in West Lulworth

The limestone arch and the shingle beach beneath it, reached by a steep stepped path down from the clifftop car park. Dorset Council lists it as open to dogs all year round with no seasonal restriction. The descent and the return climb are hard work on a hot day, so carry water.

An almost perfect circle of shingle scooped out of the Purbeck limestone, with the fossil forest and Stair Hole on either side. Dorset Council lists it as open to dogs all year round. Leads are required on the roads and walkways leading down to the cove.
