There are several good marks around Swanage. The first and most obvious is
the Pier. This is a wooden pier and as such provides a good home for lots of small fish
providing good float fishing sport, particularly for the youngsters.

Further afield good fishing can be had along the coastal path towards
Lulworth at places such as Chapmans Pool, Kimmeridge, Durlston Country Park the target
species being Wrasse, Pollack and Bass. Chapmans Pool is a long hike down from the car
park, and even further back!
Kimmeridge is easy to get to, there is a charge to get to the car park, but the fishing
for Bass and Mullet is very good.
