Old Harry Rocks
Old Harry Rocks are chalk white stacks (pillars)
protruding from the seabed lying east of Studland
Bay on the Isle of Purbeck.They are continually
hammered by the elements and have been slowly
eroded.They make great paddling with stony
beaches, small tide races and plenty of nooks and
crannies to investigate. Apparently Harry’s wife
crumbled and fell into the sea some time ago leaving
Harry and a few of his mates.
Old Harry sits in between Poole Harbour and
Swannage, which make for convenient launch sites
and if you are launching from Studland Beach then
check out the coolest beach café ever called Joe’s
Café, which is a pimped up beach hut that offers a
mean evening paella feast from time to time.
