Bournemouth beach was left strewn with litter after record-breaking crowds visited during the early May Bank Holiday. Temperatures exceeded 26°C (79°F), setting a new record for the holiday period.
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council reported that a team of beach cleaners was on duty throughout the day and evening to manage the waste. The council expects between 60,000 and 100,000 visitors on a busy summer's day.
In a separate incident, a section of cliff collapsed onto the beach on Saturday, with a witness describing it as 'a miracle' that no one was hurt. A woman was forced to run to safety as the cliff fell.
Meanwhile, an illegal rave was held in Dorset on Saturday, prompting BBC South's Ellie Cleverley to examine the law surrounding such events. Police arrested Nasen Saadi at his home in Croydon days after an attack on the beach, with CCTV footage showing him walking along the promenade before stepping onto the sand and attacking two women.
