Tyneham Beach

Sometimes referred to as Tyneham Beach, this stretch of sand and pebble is most commonly known as Worbarrow Bay.

A short walk from the abandoned ghost village of Tyneham, Worbarrow Bay is an untouched stretch of Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.

The beach only tends to be open at weekends and school holidays as it is located within the British Army’s Lulworth Range training area.
