Beach huts

Handy for storing all your seaside essentials and giving you that extra bit of privacy, beach huts in Swanage are available to hire all year round for daily, weekly and seasonal hire periods.

Perfect for storing beach toys and swimming gear while you explore a different aspect of Swanage and its surrounding area, or for sitting and taking in the view across the bay, many of the beach huts alongside Swanage Beach have toilet and shower facilities close by, making a trip to the seaside an easy, fuss-free experience.

There are also options for long-term rental for residents, as well as beach huts for hire at some of the beaches of Studland Bay.

Shore Road beach huts

There are 60 beach huts on Shore Road available all year road, which is located opposite the beach – these are the closest beach huts to Swanage town.

During the peak summer season (1 May – 30 September), the road in front of the Shore Road beach huts is pedestrianised for your safety and enjoyment.

There is a choice of fully accessible, standard or larger family huts, and lower or upper levels.

Situated right next to town, beach huts are equipped with table and chairs and electricity, and are in close proximity to a recently-refurbished toilet block.

The town’s local amusement arcade, shops, playground, restaurants and cafés are all a short walk away, making these beach huts popular with young families.

Spa Bungalows & Spa Retreat beach huts

A little further along Swanage Beach are the popular Spa beach huts.

Set slightly further back from the beach, but with stunning bay views, these beach huts are a little more secluded, offering a more private beach hut experience.
