BESIDE THE SEA The Dorset coastline is a natural attraction with miles of sandtastic castle building on offer. Glorious beaches from Mudeford along to Bournemouth and Poole, Swanage and Lyme Regis provide seaside fun by the bucket load. The vibe at Weymouth is ‘buzzing’. Seaside attractions aplenty spill along its golden sands and its colourful harbour is perfect for an alfresco lunch or seafood supper. In contrast, the National Trust beaches of Studland have an almost cast-away feel. Elsewhere, pebble coves invite you to try your hand at rock balancing, poke about in rock pools or simply admire the splash as you cast stones into the sea.
