Drinking water taps and public conveniences are located adjacent to the Shore Road beach huts. The only day that these specific toilet facilities are closed, are on Christmas Day.

Cold water showers are free to use and are located adjacent to the Shore Road beach huts, outside the public conveniences.

The nearest public conveniences for the Spa and Spa Retreat beach huts are at Battlegate, along Shore Road, and the closest drinking water tap is on Sandpit field (just 2 minutes walk from these huts).

Part of Shore Road (from The Mowlem to Victoria Avenue junction) is currently closed all year round to traffic, (except for some service/delivery vehicles) so it can be a safe environment for children and families.

You may collect your beach hut key from the Information Centre on Shore Road from 10:00 hours (09:00 hours on Saturdays & Sundays). Please return the key by 22:00 hours at the end of the hire period, to the Information Centre reception, or when closed, through the letterbox by the front door. Weekly hire periods generally run from Saturday to Friday.

When collecting your beach hut key, please provide valid I.D. and proof of address of the person whose name is on the booking form.

All Shore Road beach huts have wide doors and allow access for wheelchair users. There are 5 huts (numbers 15 to 19) which have even wider doors and a lower countertop for increased accessibility. In addition we have 6 'Premium' Huts which are larger and have double doors. Upper Level Huts 1-14 can only be accessed via steps, but Upper Level Huts 36 to 48 can be accessed on the level from Victoria Avenue behind the small ice cream kiosk, as well as via steps. For more information please see the table and map below.

Spa and Spa Retreat beach huts can be accessed from various different points via a small number of steps from the corner of Victoria Avenue / Shore Road, and also De Moulham Road, or via a fairly steep path with a few steps from Shore Road.

The following booking procedure will be used for 2026/27.

Bookings are strongly encouraged using this website, although we do also take bookings over the phone on 01929 766018.

The Spa and Spa Retreat beach huts will be released during February 2026; depending on the impact of the weather over the winter period. The anticipated future work in this area, known as the Green Seafront Stabilisation Scheme, will not be undertaken until at least 2027/28.

Please note that for all beach hut bookings for Christmas through to the New Year, restrictions apply and you are asked to contact the Swanage Information Centre for more information if you are interested in booking this period. 

This online booking system only allows weekly bookings from Saturday to Friday and therefore does not accept DAILY beach hut bookings.
Daily rentals can usually be booked ‘on the day’ subject to availability and at the Managers discretion, over the telephone or in person at the Swanage Information Centre.

Please contact the Swanage Information Centre on 01929 766018 for further information.

The Spa and Spa Retreat beach hut bookings for the 2026-27 season will be released around February/March 2026 once we have undertaken an inspection for possible winter storm damage.

Therefore, we will email all our customers at that time and update the website accordingly.

If you require a Spa or Spa Retreat beach hut from now up until 27^th March 2026, please either book online (weekly bookings), or call us on 01929 766018.  Alternatively, you are welcome to pop in and see us at the Information Centre – we are open every day!

Please note that the Spa beach huts close at the end of this month (31^st October 2025), but the Spa Retreat beach huts remain open until 27^th March 2026.
