Visit Cogden Beach
Cogden Beach, a hidden gem along the Dorset coast near Bridport. This expansive, natural shoreline offers visitors a chance to escape the crowds and immerse themselves in a truly wild coastal environment.
Cogden Beach stretches for miles, providing ample space for long, peaceful walks along its wide shoreline. The beach’s unspoiled character attracts those seeking solitude and a connection with nature. Here, you’re more likely to encounter local beach fishermen than crowds of sunbathers.
For angling enthusiasts, Cogden Beach is a prime location. The area is renowned for good fishing opportunities, making it a favorite spot for those hoping to cast a line into the sea.
Cogden Beach offers a rare opportunity to experience the Dorset coast in its most natural state. It’s an ideal destination for those seeking solitude, natural beauty, and a break from the busier, more developed beaches in the area. Pack essentials for your visit, as there are no on-site facilities, and prepare to enjoy the unspoiled charm of this wild, spacious beach.
While the beach itself lacks facilities, adding to its wild charm, visitors can take advantage of the National Trust car park nearby. A short 10-minute walk from the parking area leads you to this pristine stretch of coastline.
Dog owners will find Cogden Beach particularly welcoming, as four-legged companions are allowed off-lead year-round, allowing them to roam freely along the shore.
