Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Greenhill beach (Dorset) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Greenhill beach (Dorset) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Greenhill beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The beach offers of stunning gardens adorned with captivating wildlife sculptures and brightly painted fish along the fence. The café is a sight to behold with its colorful wall art and a floral clock. During summer, the flower beds are a glorious sight to behold. The benches offer a perfect spot to relish the breathtaking views of the gardens and the sea. The café's table area is equipped with awnings, providing a comfortable spot to savor a cup of coffee and a snack even on the hottest days.

Who needs the hustle and bustle of a crowded beach when you can escape to this hidden gem? Tucked away from the masses, this pebble beach boasts charming little chalets that offer a unique and tranquil getaway. And let's not forget about the stunning Greenhill garden, which is clearly tended to with the utmost care and attention. Kudos to the maintenance team for keeping this slice of paradise looking absolutely gorgeous.

In my opinion, this beach is one of the best in the UK. Additionally, the beach has light, fine pebbles.

Instead of being on the beach, I spent my time in the charming gardens across from it. The gardens were a vibrant and stunning spot to bask in the sun and gaze out at the ocean. It was one of the factors that compelled me to move to Dorset. I must commend the gardeners for doing an exceptional job!
