Swanage Bay
You anchor off Swanage Bay on the southeast corner of the Isle of Purbeck, with the town's Victorian seafront and sandy beach stretching out in front of you. It's a genuinely pretty spot, backed by the rolling Purbeck Hills and within easy reach of the coastal path that connects to Durlston Country Park and its dramatic clifftop views.
