Come and discover the fascinating world beneath the Pier. 

From Saturday 23rd May  

We are delighted to present a stunning collection of underwater photographs by Paul and Alison Pettitt, revealing the hidden marine life and captivating scenes that exist beneath Swanage Pier. These remarkable images offer a rare glimpse into a vibrant underwater environment often unseen by visitors above the waterline.

The exhibition is located on the lower deck of the Pier. As this area is exposed, the exhibition is weather dependent.

Normal Pier admission charges apply.
