⚠️ Due to the hot weather, there has been a large increase in the number of young people gaining access to the Pier after hours. We need to make everyone aware that jumping off the pier is incredibly dangerous due to unseen objects and water depths.

Access to the Pier after hours, is strictly prohibited and constitutes an offence under local bylaws. We are in constant contact with Dorset Police, CCTV is in operation on the Pier and we will prosecute those who choose to ignore this.
