Calling all Coastal Detectives around Swanage and Charmouth!
Have you ever wondered how your local coastline used to look, or how it might change in the future? We’re inviting children and their families to become Coast Detectives and take part in the Our Coast: Then, Now, Next challenge.
Investigate old photos, listen to stories from parents or grandparents, explore what the coast looks like today, and use your imagination to picture what might come next. You can share your discoveries through drawings, photos, interviews, writing, or short videos.
Your clues will help us piece together the story of our changing coast, past, present, and future.
Ready to start investigating? Join the challenge and share what you uncover!

Have your say on Inclusive Beach Access at Weymouth Beach!
We're keen to hear from anyone who finds accessing the beach or sea challenging, whether due to a disability, long-term health condition, reduced mobility, young children, or other access needs.
The Weymouth Inclusive Beach Access Project aims to make Weymouth Beach one of the UK's leading examples of inclusive beach access, and your feedback will help shape the final improvements.
Proposed improvements include:
✅ Accessible beach shelter and changing area
✅ Beach access boardwalks and matting
✅ Beach and water wheelchairs and supporting equipment
✅ Additional Changing Places and accessible toilet facilities
Whether you're a resident, visitor, carer, family member, or beach user, we'd love to hear your views and experiences.
