Just a two-minute stroll from the golden sands of Swanage Beach, Sandy Shores is a welcoming second floor apartment offering the perfect coastal base for couples, friends, or families.

Situated in a prime spot just moments from the beach, Sandy Shores gives you immediate access to Swanage’s traditional seaside charm. The beach itself is perfect for swimming, paddling, and relaxing, with beach huts and a gently sloping shoreline that makes it especially family-friendly. The town’s promenade and pier are within easy walking distance, as are a range of cafés, restaurants, independent shops, and ice cream parlours. Explore further afield and you’ll find Durlston Country Park just a short drive or scenic walk away - a coastal reserve with trails, sea views, and a chance to spot dolphins or peregrine falcons. The South West Coast Path offers dramatic cliff-side routes, and the iconic ruins of Corfe Castle are just a short trip on the heritage Swanage Railway. With the best of the coast just outside your door and a quiet, well-equipped apartment to return to, Sandy Shores is the ideal base for a relaxing Dorset break.
