The apartment is a two minute level walk to the award winning beach and bay. Situated on the Jurassic Coast the chances of finding fossils is good. Why not go hunting with a local map that can be obtained from the Tourist Information Office. Also you could visit Swanage Museum where the history of Swanage is documented. Peveril Point with the coastal watch station and Durlston Country Park are wit
hin walking distance, both of which have breathtaking views of the Jurassic Coast. The lifeboat station is also open daily throughout the season where you can learn all about the lifeboat and crews past and present. Take a trip to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door which are both a short drive away. Why not take the children crabbing along the water front or out at Peveril in the rock pools that are left behind after high tide. Swanage is very popular with divers with numerous wrecks within a short boat trip from the pier. There are many cafes and tea shops for that refreshing lunch stop. There is even a train dining car at Swanage station where you can grab a bite to eat while watching the steam trains. There are boat trips that run from the pier out to Old Harry Rocks, taking in various places of interest along the way. For the more adventureous of you, why not take a speedboat ride around the bay. If you don't feel like cooking breakfast, Earthlights Cafe is just a minutes stroll from the apartment who do an extremely large English breakfast at a very reasonable price. The apartment is a short level walk to all local amenities, such as supermarkets etc. At the end of the day sample the menus the local restaurants or pubs have to offer, from freshly caught fish to Italian, Chinese or Indian. The pubs serve more traditional food all of which is of a high quality. We believe that Swanage also has the best fish and chip shop in the South West.
