This magnificent bay surrounded by sandstone cliffs understandably attracts many visitors. YHA Lulworth Cove is a single storey purpose-built timber building on the edge of the tranquil fishing village of West Lulworth. Surrounded by fields and wonderful views of the Dorset hills, it’s a mile’s walk to the oyster-shaped Lulworth Cove and dramatic coastline. As for surf, when the swell is running, waves roll up the English Channel and the Dorset coast benefits. Kimmeridge Bay is one of the best places to head for especially out of season when the Atlantic storms push waves up the Channel. This long stretch of bay offers mellow waves for the beginner and faster rides for those with better ability. Very popular with windsurfers too.
