Swanage is a small town in the south east of Dorset, England. It is situated at the eastern end of the Isle of Purbeck, approximately 10km south of Poole and 40km east of Dorchester. The town has a wooden 19th century pier with two branches; one was refurbished in 1999 and the other is derelict. Sightseeing and angling boats operate from the "new" pier. Scuba diving takes place under the piers and at nearby coastal wrecks. There is a sandy beach, on Swanage Bay, along the edge of the town. Cliffs to the east of the town are used by climbers. The town is a gateway town for the Jurassic Coast, a popular world heritage site.
