We are working with Litter Free Dorset and have launched a new survey to discover how and where you spend your beach days. We want to know all about your top beach spots, favourite activities, and thoughts on litter and water cleanliness.
Your input will help to inform issues such as beach access, facilities and water quality monitoring in the future. So dive into our survey right now!
We will be popping up at various locations during the summer for in person engagement events.
Come down to say hi, complete the survey and have a chat with us about your favourite beaches. Events booked so far are:
Bank Holiday Monday at Middle Beach, Studland 10am-4pm

Standing proud above Middle Beach during the summer months, Neptune looks over towards the bay, Dorset’s largest seagrass meadow and the Voluntary No Anchor Zone.
With the recent install of our additional eco-moorings, this is an opportunity for all ages to come along and view our display eco-mooring and talk to members of the Studland Bay Marine Partnership to find out how eco-moorings are protecting our precious marine habitats.
Follow the seahorse trail from Knoll beach towards Middle Beach – look for the beautiful seahorse sculpture Neptune and the big blue Dorset Coast Forum gazebo and you have found us!
