Great location for exploring Dorset. The flat was comfortable, although needed airing when we first arrived, and has spectacular views. Parking was stressful and challenging on the parade but the caretaker helped out by placing a no parking cone outside.

What are the top sights in Swanage?

Swanage's top attractions

In and around the town of Swanage there are some truly fantastic sights to enjoy. If you love history, visit some of the town's amazing historical sites. Check out locations like Corfe Castle, a 17th century ruin that stands majestically above the township. Nearby, you can also visit the historic Swanage Railway, a steam powered train service that travels to locations around the region.

After that, check out Durlston Castle, a magnificent 19th century structure to the south of Swanage. Here you can enjoy beautiful views of the castle and sea, with the nearby Durlston Country Park serving as a popular nature reserve for holidaymakers and locals alike. The park also hosts the incredible Great Globe sculpture, one of the largest stone spheres in the world.

Where are the unique attractions in Swanage?

Seaside Holidays in Swanage

Spend a day paddling in the shallow waters of Swanage Beach. There are plenty of shops along the promenade where you can buy beach supplies, including buckets and spades or other sand toys for children. If you get hungry, you will also find a variety of cafes and ice-cream vendors on the prom, just minutes away from your spot on the beach.

If you want a home base directly on the beach, you can rent a beach hut for the day. These small huts offer mini kitchens, changing rooms, and a lounge area where you can relax and watch the sea. The huts get booked up very quickly in the summer, so make sure to reserve one in advance.

The Swanage Pier was built in 1895. It's protected as a Grade 2 listed building. Take a stroll down the pier to enjoy the views over the bay and coastline. On the Pier, you will find a small cafe that serves coffee, tea, and cakes. There is also a museum recounting the history of Swanage, located right next to the pier.
