Dive in and listen to the sounds and stories found at Swanage Pier and beyond. Discover the hidden sounds and stories by using the echoes xyz app to follow the sounds as you walk on the pier.

Listen to the Pier Master Andy and Education Officer Ginny Carvisiglia talk about the Pier's history. Can you hear the sound of the Paddle Steamer? The PS Waverley is the last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world. Built in 1946, the Paddle Steamer has visited the pier many times. With music by Laura Reid 2021.

Have you wondered why it would sound like to go sound fishing under the pier. Using special underwater microphones called Hydrophones this recording was made by recording the sounds under water. What sounds can you hear; fish, water, propellors, divers, or shifting sand ? Many species of animals live under the pier, and divers can be found often underneath your feet. Can you imagine what it must sound like to be a fish, and how loud the sounds of the mechanical propellors of boats are to Marine Life - you can hear this sound at the end of this recording.

Listen to people talk about Eric The Seagull, a local celebrity, fishing, a place just to be.
