Managing Visitors

Approximately 500,000 people visit Lulworth Cove each year, 30% of which come during July and August with 10% visiting the site during the winter months (November to February, inclusive).

The large number of visitors bring considerable management problems, particularly, in the erosion of paths and the domination of the car park over part of the Cove area.
Conversely, the economic benefits to a rural area are considerable, providing substantial full time and seasonal employment and contributing to the local economy and social stability.
