About This AttractionSuggest an Edit
Swanage’s pride and joy is its gently shelving, golden sandy beach and clear unpolluted water, the beach has once again been given the Blue Flag Award. This accolade is given to beaches that have been inspected for quality of water and beach cleanliness and also access facilities. The sea off of Swanage central beach consistently meets the highest European standards and is monitored by the Environment Agency between 15 May and 30 September. In the summer months the beach is patrolled daily by the Town Council’s Beach Wardens, ensuring that the beach regulations are adhered to. Swanage Beach does not have a lifeguard service in operation, but a clearly marked safe bathing zone is signposted. Dogs are welcome on Swanage beach between 1st October - 30th April. From the 1st May - 30th September, dogs are not allowed on the Council owned beach, but pet owners are welcome to use 'Monkey Beach' which is located by the old stone quay, close to the pier.

Spent a lovely October Sunday at Swanage beach with an 18 month old and lively puppy! All facilities are nearby including public toilets, restaurants and amusements. It may not have been a summers day but we definitely felt like we were on holiday!
