The Best Sunset Spots Near Waterside Holiday Parks

Enjoying a romantic evening stroll? Taking the dog out one last time on the trip? Or, simply looking for the perfect holiday photo? Our holiday parks are surrounded by some of the most beautiful sunset spots in Dorset and Cornwall. 

From dramatic clifftops to peaceful beaches, here are our favourite places to catch the sunset near each of our Waterside Holiday Parks. 

One of the biggest perks of staying at Bowleaze Cove Holiday Park & Spa is that incredible coastal location. With the beach just moments away, you don’t have to travel far for a spectacular evening. 

Our favourite sunset walk starts along Preston Beach Road, heading towards Lodmoor Nature Reserve. As the evening light reflects across the water and the reedbeds, the whole area takes on a peaceful glow. Continue along the promenade and you’ll be treated to uninterrupted views across Weymouth Bay as the colours deepen. 

It’s an easy, family-friendly walk that’s just as beautiful in summer as it is during the quieter shoulder seasons. 

Perfect for:

- Evening beach walks

- Wildlife spotting

- Family strolls

- Photography

With panoramic views over one of Dorset’s most famous landmarks, guests at Chesil Beach Holiday Park are spoiled for choice when golden hour arrives. 

Stretching for 18 miles along the Jurassic Coast, Chesil Beach offers one of the county’s most iconic sunset views. Watch the evening sun illuminate the pebbles before the coastline fades into warm pastel colours. 

Enjoy fish & chips on the beach. Or, simply listen to the waves. It’s a sunset you’ll remember. 

For an elevated perspective, head up to Portland Heights. Looking back across Chesil Beach, Portland Harbour and the Jurassic Coast, you’ll enjoy sweeping panoramic views as the evening light blankets the coastline. 

This is one of Dorset’s hidden gems for photographers and anyone looking to appreciate the scale of this incredible landscape.

Surrounded by woodland and close to the coast, Osmington Mills Lodge Park offers a quieter, more peaceful setting for sunset lovers. 

While you won't see the sun disappear directly into the sea from Ringstead Bay, what you will experience is something equally special. 

As daylight fades, the cliffs, beach and sea come alive with soft pinks, oranges and purples, creating beautiful reflections across the water. It’s one of those places where the changing colours are just as memorable as the sunset itself. 

Bring a blanket, find a quiet spot on the beach and simply enjoy the changing light. 

Perfect for:

- Peaceful evenings

- Coastal walks

- Nature lovers

- Relaxation

Sometimes you don’t even need to leave the park. 

Overlooking rolling Cornish countryside, Tregoad is a wonderful place to settle in for the evening and watch the changing colours spread across the valley.

Just outside nearby Looe, Hannafore offers beautiful coastal views across to Looe Island. As the sun begins to set, the shoreline glows with golden light, making it a favourite for evening walks.
