Maidencombe Beach is a quiet and secluded beach off the beaten path.

Not widely known to tourists, this beach is the perfect venue for dog owners, where four-legged friends can enjoy the beach all year round.

Beautiful red sandstone cliffs surround the sandy beach, which is set within the picturesque Jurassic Coast.

Accessibility to Maidencombe is good, with a well-signposted path leading down to the beach.

Maidencombe connects various walking routes, so you can visit a number of natural beauty spots from this award-winning beach.
