Studland - Knoll Beach

Loads of parking, wonderful Sandy beach with gentle slope into sea. Useful sandwich shop and clean toilets. Perfect day out!

My wife and I visited Knoll Beach on Thursday (the evening) and Friday (just about the whole day) 28th & 29th July 2022.
We dipped but didn’t swim as we were sure we could see what appeared to be a lot of shredded toilet along most of the beach fronting the main access points. One “lump” of something was also spotted but we didn’t investigate closely!
I walked north along the beach for about 20 minutes and evidence of the “toilet paper” reduced to almost nothing at the furthest point along the nudist beach.

Lovely beach, shame about lazy people who dont pick.up their dog poo. Both my husband & I stood in dog poo a couple of times, ALL WELL & GOOD LETTING DOGS ONTO THE BEACH….BUT PICK UP THE DOG POO!!!!!!!!!! Its not nice having to clean dog poo from shoes/feet.

I haven’t been to the nudist beach for a few years and having read some of the reviews I was fearing the worst with affluence in the water and dogs running amok but I was very pleasantly surprised. There were the nudists (myself included) who are all very quiet and respectful of everyone else and quite a few dogs, mostly on their leads who were all very well behaved and enjoying themselves too. I had x3 good swims with a mask and snorkel and didn’t see anything untoward. The sea was very clear so I could see everything on top and underneath the water. I also didn’t see any fish either !!
  The only downside to a lovely, relaxing day was getting caught in some very severe traffic jams and queues. This is very worrying as the school holidays haven’t even started yet. I live in BH11 area and the journey there took 35 minutes . It took me an hour an half to get home.

Studland Beach is now ruined. Dogs everywhere.
