Castle Cove (Dorset)

Castle Cove is an award-winning golden sandy beach overlooked by a magnificent Georgian seafront located at the heart of the Jurassic Coastline.

This secluded and sheltered bay is backed by greenery and cliffs, whilst the gradually sloping seabed and clean waters make it an ideal spot for swimming and water sports. Overlooking the beach are the incredible ruins of Sandsfoot Castle, which are also worth visiting. Henry VIII built the castle to guard Portland Harbour. You will also find various cafes and restaurants in the area, and traditional seaside attractions include Punch and Judy shows, pedalos and a land train, with impressive sand sculptures during the summer months.

The beach also has regular events, including festivals, sporting occasions and firework displays. Castle Cove is a perfect destination for families and visitors of every age!
