South Beach Studland

This pristine stretch of golden sand backed by environmentally protected heathland represents one of southern England's finest natural beaches, where rare wildlife thrives just meters from excellent swimming waters. The beach forms part of a National Nature Reserve where Dartford warblers nest in the gorse, sand lizards bask on the dunes, and all six British reptile species can be found. With excellent facilities including beach huts, cafés, and water sports rentals, plus the famous naturist section at the southern end, Knoll Beach successfully balances conservation with recreation in spectacular fashion.
