Thrill-Seeking on the South Coast

If lying on a beach towel isn’t your style, Dorset’s rugged coastline is the ultimate outdoor playground. The unique geology of the Jurassic Coast makes it one of the premier destinations in the UK for adventure sports.

Popular Adventures:

Coasteering: Scramble, climb, and leap off the limestone cliffs at Dancing Ledge into the sea below. It is the ultimate rush, but should always be done by booking a session with a qualified local guide who understands the tides and swells.

Fossil Hunting: Head slightly further west towards Charmouth and Lyme Regis for guided fossil walks. Experts will show you exactly what to look for on the beaches where dinosaurs once roamed.

Gear up: For most water-based adventures, wetsuits and safety helmets are provided by the tour operator. You will usually just need to bring an old pair of lace-up trainers that you don’t mind getting completely soaked!
