South-West England South Coastline - Locations worth seeing during the weekend

[TomStoff]

Hi,

As a Beginner and partially foreigner - i'm planning to do a trip through south coast of UK ((it's part). Because I live near Brighton I was planning to go to the west. What I am asking for (in polite way ;P)
Could you recommend me some places worth visiting and taking pictures? Especially during sunset and sunrise? I was planning to camp and take photos during sunset and sunrise in few places (two - three at most) and then during the day taking pictures in some "touristic" locations.

For me interesting are:
- Durdle Door
and generally whole Dorset

PS: Can I tent on a Durdle Door beach?

I will be doing Durdle Door next month. There's a campsite adjacent to it: http://www.lulworth.com/durdle-door-holiday-park/

Next door you've got Lulworth Cove, then further west is Portland Bill and Chesil Beach. To the north is Bovingdon Tank Museum.

I'd also be interested for any other decent local attractions.

Abbotsbury, Lyme Regis, Golden Cap if you want a walk (take the coast path from Stonebarrow Hill car park - it's lovely). Hardy's Monument. I can't comment on camping but there's caravan/camping sites everywhere. Cerne Abbas and the chalk man.

Wooow - thanks a lot - this gives me a lot to think about next two weeks journey

I'd look for locations West of Swanage, the coast up to that point is pretty dull, so Pretty much all of Dorset/Devon and Cornwall.
