Studland Village is mainly of red brick and set on a beautiful peace of coast, with trees and combes, dunes and beaches. Near the village a leafy lane leads straight to the east-facing protected secluded bathing beach.
From Shell Bay, at the north end of the broad Studland Bay, a car ferry crosses to Sandbanks, near Poole. At the southern end of Studland Bay a footpath over Ballard Down leads to Swanage, with wonderful sea views to the crumbling chalk stacks of the Old Harry Rocks.
