Chapman's Pool, Protected cove in Worth Matravers, England.
Chapman's Pool features limestone cliffs and a horseshoe-shaped bay with clear waters along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, England.
A lifeboat station operated at Chapman's Pool from 1867 to 1880, when it closed due to insufficient volunteers and high maintenance costs.
The beach attracts fossil collectors who search the shores for preserved specimens of ammonites, bivalves, and other marine creatures.
Visitors need to park at Renscombe car park and walk one mile through farmland before descending steep slopes to reach the rocky beach.
The cove contains several fishing huts that were converted from the former lifeboat station, now used by local fishermen.
