Ringstead Bay, with the small village of Ringstead at the eastern end and the prominent headland of White Nothe at the western end, is located on the coast in Dorset, southern England.
[2][3] There are offshore reefs approximately 0.6 kilometres (0.37 mi) in length at the western end opposite the village that are uncovered at low tide.
This forms is intertidal zone between the low cliffs to the north and the English Channel to the south.
[7] It is possible to walk to the top of White Nothe and back, with views of the bay and across to the Isle of Portland.
There is an alternative free car park in the National Trust area further inland, with footpath access to the sea via a 15–20 minute walk.
