Mupe bay is a secret beach that is well worth a visit. If you are looking for a small secluded beach, less travelled then this is where to go. Park at Lulworth car park and head east. It’s about a 45minute walk. Look out for the wild orchids and fossil forest.
It is only accessible when the MoD are not using the firing range (Tues & Thurs). All other days in the week and weekends is the time to go.
