Your day in Studland.

Your base: Studland Knoll Beach hut 226

Knoll Beach, Studland

This plan is not a reservation. Your booking confirmation contains your agreed hire and arrival details.

Getting there and the practical bits

Knoll Beach is the main service point, with toilets, a shop and the core visitor facilities. There are also toilets at Middle Beach and Shell Bay car park, plus drinking water taps for hut users. Studland is not sparse, but it is not loaded with town-seafront clutter either, which is part of the appeal.

Check the walking distance, steps and parking arrangements for your chosen hut. Facilities can have seasonal opening hours.

Bringing your dog

Studland is dog friendly all year, which is a big plus. The catch is that the rules change with the season. From 1 May to 30 September, dogs are allowed on the beach but must be on a lead of less than 2 metres. From October to April they can be off lead under close control. In the dunes and heath there are extra lead rules during bird-nesting season.

Permission to bring a dog into the hut is separate from access to the beach. Ask the hut provider before booking.

Weather, tides and water

Check the latest forecast and tide times shortly before you travel. A forecast available today may not cover your planned visit.

Follow local lifeguard advice and beach safety signs. Tide predictions do not tell you whether it is safe to swim.

A little more to your day
