Swanage Pier, Victorian pier in Swanage, England
The wooden structure extends into Swanage Bay with a length of 750 feet, offering views across the water toward Old Harry Rocks and Sandbanks.
Built in 1895 to replace an older pier from 1860, this Grade II listed structure served as a crucial transportation point for local stone quarries and passenger steamers.
The pier features the 1859 cafe, an exhibition space presenting maritime heritage, and numerous commemorative plaques detailing local stories through the decades.
Entry costs £1.80 for adults while children under 14 enter free, and visitors can access the diving school, gift shop, and seasonal boat excursions.
The Swanage Pier Trust maintains this structure through a plank sponsorship program, where individuals can purchase personalized plaques mounted on the deck boards.
