Studland in Dorset, England sits on the eastern edge of the Isle of Purbeck, looking across Poole Harbour to the English Channel. It’s famed for long sandy beaches, rolling dunes and low heathland that are protected as nature reserves and form part of the Jurassic Coast, with the distinctive chalk stacks of Old Harry Rocks marking the headland.
The local economy is largely driven by tourism - day visitors from Sandbanks and Swanage, holiday parks, cafés and watersports - but conservation and history are prominent too: Studland Bay was used for Second World War landing rehearsals and wartime pillboxes remain on the headland. Socially it’s popular with families, wildlife enthusiasts and naturists, and is notable for rare species such as sand lizards and natterjack toads.
