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

📅 Friday, April 24, 2026
Today is a fair day to visit the coast for a brisk walk or to enjoy the scenery, though it is certainly not a day for swimming or lounging in swimwear. You will find clear blue skies and plenty of sunshine throughout the day, providing a bright and pleasant atmosphere. However, keep in mind that the breeze is quite strong and rather chilly, which will make the air feel much cooler than the air temperature of 16.5 °C suggests. The water remains far too cold for any water-based activities, with a sea temperature of 11.5 °C, and the waves are somewhat choppy. It is a lovely day to enjoy the fresh air and coastal views, provided you bring a warm windproof jacket.
