The incident happened on the beach east of The Smugglers Inn near Osmington Mills.
The air ambulance was called to attend the scene and dropped doctors close by, and a coastguard helicopter with a winch was also requested.
Both the man and doctors were winched into the helicopter and flown to Dorset County Hospital.
