Where is Studland Bay?
Studland Bay is a popular sandy beach on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset. This three mile beach stretches from the entrance of Poole Harbour in the north to Handfast Point, dominated by the famous chalk stacks, Old Harry Rocks, in the south. The beach and its access is owned and managed by the National Trust and the beach is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The rocky, underwater reefs off the south coast of the Isle of Purbeck have recently been identified as a Draft Marine Special Area of Conservation. Studand Bay has not been included because sites are selected for certain habitats of European significance, in this case, reef and sea cave habitats.
