Durdle Door is probably the most famous stone arch anywhere in the world. It was created when the sea pierced through the Portland limestone around 10,000 years ago. Looking west over the beach, isolated stacks out at sea show where an older coastline once lay. This part of the coast is formed from merged bays and shows how Lulworth Cove and Stair Hole may look in several thousand years time.

Bowleaze Cove (only 10 min walk from haven) is a sand and pebble beach just over two miles northeast from Weymouth.  At low tide further patches of sand and a number of rockpools become visible. Children might enjoy paddling in the shallow waters of the cove or in the River Jordan which enters the sea at the beach. From the beach there are good views over the Jurassic coastline towards Weymouth and the Isle of Portland. In peak holiday season this can be a good spot to view the weekly Weymouth firework display.

Facilities include a café and gift shop and a nearby pub.  During the summer season a funfair operates next to the beach.
