If you like walking you can follow the coastline from Studland to Old Harry Rocks, and onwards to Swanage and Durleston Head. The stretch between Shell bay and Studland is a naturists beach.
Beautiful soft golden sand on the iconic Sandbanks peninsular however it is a one way in and one way out apart from taking the chain ferry to Studland the gateway of the purbecks
It’s open outlook from Poole harbour with Old Harry Rocks visible on a clear day is amazing and on a sunny day boats and other leisure craft can be seen making the most of the summer scene.
Known as millionaires Row it is the most expensive housing areas on a small headland.
Arrive early if you want to get a parking space on a sunny day.
One side of the harbour is the sheltered windsurfing /paddle boarding calm 1.5 meters deep side which on low tide will go nearly all the way out or the coast side the beach
A large car park covering both sides will give you the opportunity to swim or walk the beach on both sides doing a round connection

Park in the car park and walk either on the beach around the headland, around the nature reserve which is tidal (you can also hitch a ride on a land train ) or head up over the headland - Warren Hill and choose a different route back. It can be windy but it’s exhilarating with a passenger ferry at the point to Mudeford Quay where you will find children catching crabs , a fish mongers, cafe selling fish and chips and a pub. Always popular with all age groups
