How to respect the coast
📷 We need your Dorset Coast Storm Impact photos!
Have you noticed your local beach looking a little different after the recent storms?
Maybe one of the storms shifted the sand or pulled pebbles away from your favourite spot?
We're hearing reports of dramatic changes along the Dorset coast, including:
🌊Sand washed away from Swanage Beach (see image)
🌊Disappearing pebbles at Ringstead
🌊A sand bank appearing at the entrance to West Bay Harbour, and a
🌊Sandy shelf forming at Lyme Regis
If you’ve spotted changes like these and captured them we’d love to see your photos! Before‑and‑after shots are especially helpful.
Post your photos in the comments below or email them to dorset.coast@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk
We’ll be creating a page on our website sharing your images with information on recent storms and how they are impacting on our beaches.
Thank you for helping us understand how the recent storms have shaped our coastline! 🌬️🌊
