Dist:0.6km<br/>Cordoned off, beneath a tarpaulin, lie the remains of a bottle-nosed whale nicknamed "Gilbert", who, after entertaining locals for a few days, was washed ashore dead. Wounds might indicate rope marks; "Gilbert" turned out to be female. http://www.thisisdorset.net/news/4639574.Has_Gilbert_the_whale_waved_a_final_farewell_to_our_shores_/

Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking from the prom across Poole Bay, from a few yards west of the border with Bournemouth. The beacon is at the end of a short groyne, presently covered with sand, and its co-ordinates are SZ 07068 89918 – making it one of the few features in this gridsquare.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Scope for pictures in this square is limited; apart from the beach, there is only the southern end of the Bournemouth boundary, and a groyne. Seen here looking towards Bournemouth.

Dist:0.6km<br/>The exact border is by the concrete wall to the left of the endmost beach hut, and a short section of promenade, Poole side of the border, is all that is in this square.
