Photography

Swanage Pier presents the photographer with year round opportunites, from the impressive Victorian wind shelter at dawn to the atmospheric ruins of old Swanage Pier, shrouded in early morning mist.

Beneath the pier is an underwater photographer’s paradise, offering a wide variety of marine life to photograph. It is amazing how the scene here can change at different times of day, with the evening sun in summer streaming through under the south side of the pier in spectacular shafts of brilliant light.
