About This Place

Just around the corner from Dorset’s best-known cove (Lulworth) is the hidden gem that is Mupe Bay.  A crescent of beach with towering white chalk cliffs to one end and the distinctive string of Mupe Rocks to the west. --> At high tide the beach is mainly rocks and shingle but as the tide drops away a good expanse of sand is revealed. Low water also uncovers Mupe Ledge, a flat rocky area that is full of rockpools.To get to Mupe Bay involves a some degree of walking and a bit of a climb/scrabble down the cliff path. Perhaps the most direct route is to park up by the church in Lulworth village, but you can walk around the coast from Lulworth Cove (around 2 miles). Either way you will be crossing Ministry of Defence land at Lulworth Range and must check if it is open that day. Also heed the warnings to stick to the path and not touch anything as failing to do so may be fatal!!

💡 Our Take

Mupe Bay, nestled in the stunning Dorset coastline, is a hidden gem ideal for dogs, welcoming furry friends year-round without seasonal restrictions. Its pebble shores are perfect for curious paws, while the tranquil, clear waters are typically calm, offering safe swimming options for adventurous pups. Ample parking can be found nearby, although facilities are limited, so pack essentials. This serene location is best suited for big dogs or those requiring a bit of space to roam, and its secluded atmosphere is ideal for anxious dogs seeking a peaceful retreat. Tip: bring enough water, as facilities are sparse.
