Coastal walks, sea air and slow summer days by the shore.
Summer on the Jurassic Coast is all about being outdoors. From clifftop paths and hidden coves to long afternoons by the sea and evenings watching the sun go down, this stretch of coastline is made for exploring at your own pace. Perched above the beach, THE PIG-on the beach is the perfect place to make the most of the season. Here are four reasons to visit this summer.
1. Walk the Jurassic Coast
Few places are as spectacular for walking as the Jurassic Coast. Follow cliff-top paths with sweeping sea views, discover quiet stretches of coastline and take in the dramatic landscapes that have been shaped over millions of years. Whether you're heading out for a bracing morning walk or a gentle wander along the shore, the fresh sea air makes every step worthwhile.
2. Spend a day by the sea
Summer days are made for the beach. Take a stroll along the sand, dip your toes in the water or simply find a spot to sit and watch the waves roll in. With hidden coves, sweeping views and plenty of space to slow down, the Jurassic Coast offers the perfect excuse to spend a little longer outdoors.
3. Discover the story beneath your feet
The Jurassic Coast is famous for its fascinating geology and prehistoric past. Take your time exploring the shoreline, search for fossils and discover the stories hidden within the cliffs and beaches around you. It’s a place where every walk offers a glimpse into a much older world.
4. Dine with a view
After a day exploring the coast, settle back at THE PIG-on the beach and enjoy the best of the season on the plate. With ingredients grown in the Kitchen Garden and sourced from within the local area, the menu celebrates the flavours of the coast and countryside. As the evening light settles over the sea, there’s nowhere better to linger a little longer.
