Neighbourhoods
Canford Cliffs Beach is situated between Branksome Chine Beach and Flaghead Beach and is popular mainly with the locals because there isn’t a car park nearby. If visiting this beach the most convenient place to park is on-road parking along Cliff Drive (around BH13 7JE) or the surrounding residential rounds. Parking is currently Free but please do not block drives. Spaces fill up very quickly. There are steps from Cliff Drive leading down the chine to the beach. Alternative access is along the promenade from Branksome Chine Beach or by a lovely wooded path from Esplanade Road BH13 7HZ where you’ll also find more on-road free parking.

Sightseeing
From bucket and spade fun to watersports, beach games and blow-away-the-cobwebs walks, Studland is a place for all seasons.
The beaches of the Studland peninsula stretch from the boundary of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site at Old Harry Rocks north to Shell Bay, where a chain ferry provides a link to Poole and Bournemouth.
South Beach is the smallest and popular with locals. Middle Beach is sheltered by low cliffs, while Knoll Beach, backed by a wilderness of dunes, has wide open spaces and includes a 1km designated naturist area.
