Just a few minutes' walk from Heathlands, Studland Beach offers something for everyone. Spend the day swimming, paddleboarding or kayaking, enjoy an ice cream from the beachfront café, or simply relax while watching the boats sail across the bay. The colourful beach huts that line the shore have become an iconic feature of Studland, adding to the timeless charm of this much-loved destination, and are available to rent through the National Trust.

Beyond the beach, a network of footpaths, cycle routes and bridleways wind across Studland Heath and the Purbeck Hills, offering spectacular views towards Old Harry Rocks, Ballard Down and Poole Harbour. Horse riding enthusiasts can even enjoy beach rides with the nearby Studland Riding Stables for much of the year.

A short drive brings you to the Victorian seaside town of Swanage, home to independent shops, cafés, a traditional pier and the famous Swanage Railway. Alternatively, take the chain ferry across to Sandbanks to explore Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch, or venture into the New Forest for a memorable day out.
