Swanage Cottages Ideally Placed for Sailing

Ever since the London 2012 Olympics, Dorset has been put firmly on the map as a sailing mecca, with Weymouth acting as home to the Olympic sailing squads.

It's clear to see why they chose this county for the sport - Dorset has fantastic sailing waters and all easily enjoyed when staying in one our properties in Swanage.

For the purists amongst you there’s opportunities to try your hand at crewing a Tall Ship as well as the more wobbly experience of bopping around in dinghies. The thrill seekers can speed past the coastline, pounding the waves, with hair flying and screeches loud and plentiful with the white rugged cliffs of the Jurassic Coast and landmarks such as Old Harry Rocks zipping by, whilst you are all safely secured within the rubber confines of an organised RIB ride.

For those who like to float by on the water under their own paddle, then kayak tours and hire are there to be taken advantage of; a great way to get a more intimate view of the marine life that inhabit this celebrated coastline.

All these water activities are within a gentle stroll of many of our properties in and around Swanage.
