About the event

Join us on the Kimmeridge cliffs to keep a look out for dolphins and other marine animals as part of the 2024 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.
