Recreational Survey

We Want To Hear From You!

We are working with Dorset Coast Forum to launch 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!

What We Want To Know

Why We Want To Know

Dorset’s coastline is home to some of the UK’s most precious landscapes; the Jurassic Coast and Southwest Coast Path beckon adventurous hikers and dog walkers alike, and our beaches are host to a fantastic range of water sport activities. It’s important to protect these beautiful beaches for everyone to enjoy, so whether you live locally or are visiting Dorset, we need your input to inform future projects on the Dorset coastline.

The information collected from this survey will help us to develop future projects across Dorset’s coastline to reduce litter and improve bathing water quality. We want to know which beaches are used more often, what they are being used for and the current litter and water quality state. The results from this survey can help to inform future projects to improve accessibility, facilities and water quality monitoring, ensuring that bathing waters are safe, clean and enjoyable for everyone to use.
