National Marine Week: National Whale and Dolphin Watch at Kimmeridge

1 August 2025 @ 12:00 pm 4:00 pm

Join us on the Kimmeridge cliffs to keep a look out for dolphins and other marine animals as part of the 2025 National Whale and Dolphin Watch survey. Learn what signs to look for, how to spot and identify them, and find out more about the types of whales and dolphins that can be seen in Dorset. This event is weather dependent, please call The Fine Foundation Wild Seas Centre if unsure. Please be aware that while the look-out area is set back from the cliff edge this event is not suitable for young children and dogs. All children must be accompanied by an adult. What to bring-
  • Please bring your own binoculars if you have them, although we will have a few pairs available to borrow.
  • You will need to dress appropriately for the weather conditions on the day as it is very exposed. Sturdy shoes are essential as access to the lookout is up very steep and sometimes slippery steps.
Free event, donations welcome. No booking required. Drop in and stay as long as you like. For further information, visit the webpage or contact –
