Season: spring
The beach at Ringstead Bay is a long crescent, unspoilt and tranquil in the bright sunshine on this occasion. Located just west of Durdle Door and comprising a part of Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, this is a haven for wildlife and a place to reflect and unwind. There’s an invigorating walk back up to the car park. Isolation is part of the appeal at Ringstead Bay.

Season: autumn
Ringstead Bay has a small, crescent-shaped beach, sitting near the hamlet of Ringstead. This is a quiet spot that’s easy to get to, with a family feel, located a hundred metres or so from the car park. The beach itself is shingle, looking out over Weymouth Bay across to the Isle of Portland. Children can explore between the beach and the Ringstead Ledge, a small outcrop of rock which appears only when the tide is low.
