Mupe Bay Beach

Mupe Bay Beach is a stunning location on the south coast, known for its natural beauty and tranquility. It is located to the east of Lulworth Cove and is accessible via the South West Coast path. The beach is characterized by its shingle texture, which is common along most of the coastline in the area.

The beach is surrounded by classic Dorset chalk cliffs, and rocky outcroppings with rock pools can be found to the right. The bay offers lovely views out over the water, particularly during the climb on the South West Coast path.

One of the unique aspects of Mupe Bay Beach is its relative seclusion. It requires a moderate uphill walk of about a couple of miles or an hour's hike from Lulworth Cove. This lack of easy access means that the beach is often quiet, with only a handful of people present at any given time.

Mupe Bay Beach: Weather Today

📅 Monday, June 8, 2026
Today is certainly not a day for a trip to Mupe Bay Beach, as conditions are quite poor for any coastal activities. Expect persistent and heavy downpours throughout the day, which will make staying dry impossible. Strong winds are whipping across the shore, creating choppy and turbulent water, so stay well away from the edge. With the air temperature peaking at 15.9 °C and the water temperature sitting at a very chilly 13.9 °C, the environment is far too cold and unwelcoming for swimming. It is a day best spent indoors rather than trying to enjoy the seaside. Please exercise caution if you are near the cliffs, as the combination of rain and winds makes the terrain hazardous.
