Coastlink is a partnership between six independently run Centres along the Dorset Coast working together on coastal and marine issues. Stretching from Charmouth in the west to Studland in the east, the Centres are closely linked through their education and interpretation programmes, highlighting our rich coastal and marine environment. Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre The Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre operates within a world famous fossil hunting site. An independent charity offering education to everyone and an exciting chance to explore the Jurassic Coast’s ancient and present day marine life. Entry to the centre is free and events run all year round. Purbeck Marine Wildlife Reserve, Kimmeridge Bay Kimmeridge Bay offers the most accessible marine life in Dorset and is ideal for rockpooling and snorkelling. The Marine Centre’s live underwater camera offers a crab’s eye view of the bay for those who like to stay dry. It also contains native marine species in purpose built aquaria, children’s games, fossil rubbing and colourful displays. Chesil beach centre The Chesil Beach Centre is a focal point in the Chesil Bank and Fleet Nature Reserve. The centre aims to provide an interpretation of the formation, working, and habitats associated with the 17 mile long pebble bank and 8 mile long Fleet Lagoon. An excellent way of exploring the Fleet Lagoon is by our own glass bottomed boat the Fleet Explorer. Durlston Country Park and Nature Reserve From seabird colonies to colourful wildflower meadows, Durlston’s coastal wildlife and dramatic cliff top scenery make it a special place. Our visitor centre features interactive displays, including live images of breeding seabirds, sound from the seabed, a hide and a daily wildlife diary. We organise events all year round and a comprehensive educational programme. Lulworth Cove and Heritage Centre The Heritage Centre at Lulworth Cove is open every day with free admission. It houses various informative exhibitions and displays showing the story of Lulworth from its famous geology to ancient history and wildlife. Visitors in 2007 can take advantage of the new improved layout and additional displays on local social history. National Trust Studland Beach and Nature Reserve The National Trust’s Studland Beach and Nature Reserve is famous for its long sandy beaches and dunes and is home to a diversity of wildlife including many nationally rare and scarce species. Nestled in the woodland, adjacent to the dunes and Knoll Beach, the Studland Study Centre offers a wide variety of education opportunities and events.
