Swanage Area
Head for Swanage town centre
where there is a good selection
of take-aways and restaurants
that cater for most tastes and
budgets. If you are wanting to
stop on the approach then try the
Main Street in Wareham.
Good Pub Guide
Portland Area
The Cove House Inn on the
seafront in Chiswell is a great
place to sit outside as the sun
sets over Chesil Beach and also
has a convivial atmosphere.
The George on the outskirts of
Easton is a good traditional pub
that often has live music. The bar
at The Portland Heights Hotel
has a great view out over Chesil
Beach and Lyme Bay.
Lulworth Area
The Castle Inn is a nice pub with
good food and a low-slung roof.
Swanage Area
In Swanage town there is a
whole cluster of pubs near
the end of the pier. If you are
climbing at Dancing Ledge or
Winspit you can head straight
for The Square and Compass
at Worth Matravers, which has
a very ‘olde worlde' atmosphere.
The Scott Arms in Kingston (near
Worth Matravers) is an excellent
pub with good food and a lovely
beer garden. Many of the pubs
in Corfe Castle are excellent but
possibly the best is The Fox Inn.
Beaches
Along the coastline the variety
of scenery is quite remarkable. Beautiful, unspoilt sandy beaches occur at Studland, Sandbanks
and Weymouth. There are also delightful stony coves at Lulworth and Worrbarrow Bay. The major
venues have organised watersports such as water-skiing, parascending and windsurfing. Other
areas which are popular for sunbathing and with families are Dancing Ledge Quarry, Swanage
main beach and Church Ope Cove on Portland.
