Owned by the National Trust, time spent leaving footprints amongst the sandy dunes can easily be mistaken for tropical beach days abroad. It’s important to know that one section of the beach is a designated naturist beach, and amenities close by include beach huts, water sports, a small shop and a café.
Since late Victorian times, beach huts have been part of the British seaside. The earliest examples in Studland appeared more than 100 years ago. Around 260 beach huts are dotted along the beach, and 50 National Trustbeach huts are available for rent. The beach huts are colour-coded in order to help you choose the right hut for you and renters can choose from a choice of a more secluded spot among the dunes or a front-row seat on the beach.
