About this site
Lulworth Cove is a sheltered, circular cove located on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England, and is one of the best-known beaches in the UK. The cove's distinctive circular shape makes it naturally sheltered, and entry is a beach walk-in from the pebbly shore. The site is rated as beginner level, with a rocky bottom.
Underwater, the cove holds a seaweed forest along with a variety of sea plants and marine creatures. The sheltered, enclosed geometry of the bay makes it particularly suited to snorkelling and introductory diving, allowing a pleasant swim around the full arc of the cove.
Lulworth Cove is a shore dive with beach entry directly from the pebble beach. A car park serves the site. The nearby beach of Man O'War is located next to Lulworth Cove, though a steep uphill then downhill cliff walk separates the two, and each has its own car park.
