About
The dog-friendly Durdle Door beach is named after the natural arch that reaches out into the sea.
The arch is one of Dorset’s most cherished beauty spots, a 30 (ish) minute walk from Lulworth Cove or a 15 (ish) minute walk from the holiday park. This location on the South West Coast Path is very popular.
Although a popular location with busy clifftop areas, the fine pebble beach itself is rarely too busy, partly because it’s a decent walk and involves steep steps down to the beach.
