Set off from Parkdean Resorts in Sandford around 10:30-11:00 and head first to the Durdle Door car park at Lulworth, where you can pay for parking and then catch the short walk toward the famous limestone arch. With two young children, it's best to take your time on the cliff path, enjoying the sea views and stopping at the viewpoint rather than rushing straight down to the shore. After taking in Durdle Door, continue on to Man O'War Beach or nearby Lulworth Cove, where the family can relax on the sand, explore the shallows, and grab a simple, reasonably priced lunch from the Lulworth Cove Inn or one of the casual kiosks in the area.
In the afternoon, head to Weymouth Beach, where the children can enjoy the wide sandy shoreline, paddling in the shallows and using the donkey rides and amusement-style seafront treats if you fancy a simple family reward. For an easy, budget-friendly stop, look for fish and chips or sandwiches along the Weymouth Esplanade, then take a gentle stroll before beginning the drive back to Sandford as the day winds down.
As the light softens, head toward West Bay Beach for a final stretch of seaside fun, where the children can play on the sand while you enjoy the dramatic harbour views and a calmer pace after a busy day. For an easy, budget-friendly supper, pick up simple fish and chips or a takeaway snack from the West Bay promenade before making the relaxed drive back to Parkdean Resorts in Sandford.
