Two identical electric saunas on the promenade at Avon Beach, next to the occasion huts near the Noisy Lobster, each taking up to seven people and looking across the water to the Isle of Wight. The shore is a gently sloping mix of sand and shingle, so swim shoes are recommended for a sea dip. Each sauna has a small changing room, and Avon Run Road car park is about two minutes' walk behind. Guests must be 16 or over.
Open all year
Old Harry Rocks are chalk stacks on Handfast Point at the southern end of Studland Bay, part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and managed by the National Trust. The route is popular with walkers and cyclists along the South West Coast Path, with open grass areas for picnics and kayak trips available for a closer look. Dogs are welcome on a lead due to the cliff height.
Open all year
