Overview

This is a circular walk starting from Shell Bay South Haven Point National Trust car park (pay). You can use the number 50 Bournemouth/Swanage bus, alight Shell Bay Ferry. We walk along the stony and rocky foreshore on the west side of the peninsular, and cross heathland to the beaches on the other side. There is one gentle hill.
