## Branksome Chine Beach: A Hidden Gem on the Dorset Coast Branksome Chine Beach is a true testament to the beauty of the Dorset coastline. This unsung gem offers a tranquil escape from the busier stretches of sand further along the coast. The soft, golden sands invite you to relax and soak up the sun, while the crystal-clear waters are perfect for a refreshing dip. Whether you're building sandcastles with the kids, enjoying a leisurely stroll, or simply unwinding with a good book, Branksome Chine provides the ideal backdrop. One of the highlights is the stunning scenery. The beach is framed by lush greenery and offers breathtaking views of the Purbeck Hills. It's a place where you can truly appreciate the natural beauty of the area. While the beach boasts a relaxed atmosphere, it doesn't compromise on amenities. The on-site restaurant serves delicious food with a fantastic view, and the cafe offers a perfect spot for a coffee and cake. If you're seeking a peaceful and picturesque beach experience, Branksome Chine is an absolute must-visit. It's a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered.

The secret is well and truly out so I guess it doesn't matter sharing how great this beach is. I have been coming here on and off since the 70s and it always delivers, especially on a blistering hot day when you just want to be in the sea. Perfect for swimming, SUP and kayak, sandcastles and kite flying.

I really like this beach. This is our second time here. This beach has everything you need for a comfortable rest. Parking, toilet, bar, BBQ zone. Dogs are allowed on one part of the beach. Beautiful views. It is usually windy on the beach. So keep this in mind if you don't like sand.

Stunning Dorset beach, fine golden sands, beautiful clean water, lifeguard's on duty in the summer season, toilet facilities. RockWater beach restaurant for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a sundowner. Great cuisine, good wine list but expensive, but the best Sea views. Highly recommended 👑👑👑👑👑
