Quick facts

Man O' War Cove is the small bay immediately east of Durdle Door.

Offshore rocks, remnants of the same limestone band that forms the arch, act as a natural breakwater and keep the water calmer than at Durdle Door.

There are no lifeguards on the beach, and dogs are allowed off the lead all year.
