Kimmeridge Bay

About this site

Kimmeridge Bay is a Dorset Wildlife Trust Local Nature Reserve and one of the best wildlife snorkelling and diving sites on the south coast, with extensive shallow reefs supporting enormous numbers of wrasse, bream, and invertebrates. The bay is sheltered enough for beginners in calm weather, and the rocky ledges are alive with cuttlefish, octopus, and a wide variety of nudibranchs.
