Beachwatch Big Weekend

Chesil Beach Lodge is in a wonderful location on the Dorset coast, and we’re so lucky to have a wealth of amazing beaches close by. An unfortunate fact of beach life everywhere is increasing amounts of man-made litter; meaning that our beaches need a helping hand to remain litter-free, beautiful, and safe for animals and people. From the 14th to 17th September the Marine Conservation Society is encouraging all beach lovers to help clean up beaches along the UK coastline.

During the Beachwatch Big Weekend, thousands of volunteers will be collecting and recording the rubbish they find on UK beaches as part of the International Coastal Clean-up which takes place in 80 countries worldwide. The data collected helps the Marine Conservation Society shape future beach litter campaigns and keep the issues on the Government’s agenda.

In Dorset, volunteers are needed in various locations including: Hengitsbury Head, Friars Cliff Beach, Newton’s Cove and Chesil Cove. Please see the Beachwatch Big Weekend website for more details, and see if you can join in and help keep our beautiful beaches free of litter.

Environmental issues, including sustainable tourism, are very important to us at Chesil Beach Lodge and we offer visitors a warm welcome and a sustainable holiday in the beautiful county of Dorset. Please contact us and find out more about our eco-friendly self-catering accommodation in Dorset.
