Doing Nothing!
The final stop on the Jurassic Coast Experience trip by Discover Dorset was Durdle Door & Lulworth Cove. Durdle door is an arch made of limestone. It was originally just rock and over time, sea waves kept splashing and drilled a hole. Durdle just means 'drill' and here we have the Durdle door.
There's a huge car park atop and from there a relatively steep walk down a dirt track takes to the view of Durdle Door from atop. There are steps from here to reach the beach itself.

From there back to the car park of Durdle Door and walk along the cliffs and there at the end was Lulworth Cove. This is an almost circular space where sea water comes in & goes out. The rocks here date from Upper Jurassic (150 million years ago) to Cretaceous (65 million years ago) era, which is why this comes under UNESCO. A section here also has Oyster beds!
Compared to Durdle Door this wasn't so awesome. But further ahead on the other side of Lulworth Cove was Stair Hole which was again a natural hole in rock formations like Durdle Door but more rustic. Infact there are 2 holes here. However it isn't possible to get to the beach here.
