Sandbanks to the Isle of Purbeck

A stunning hike from Sandbanks to the beautiful Isle of Purbeck. There’s so much to discover along the way including Shell Bay, “Old Harry Rocks” and the seaside town of Swanage.

If it’s not beach weather or you’re in the mood to stretch your legs and explore, Sandbanks is a great starting place for walks that take in both outstanding scenery and points of interest.

There are three main options for your walk from Sandbanks: eastwards along the shoreline towards Bournemouth; westwards to the Isle of Purbeck, or inland in the direction of Poole.
