💡🚻 Spotlight on... Public Conveniences ♿️💡

Swanage Town Council provides a range of public convenience facilities for residents and visitors, including changing places facilities at North Beach and a new composting toilet at Godlingston Cemetery. Opening hours are designed to offer a consistent and manageable level of service throughout the year, minimising the impact of vandalism.

During June, July and August, the main public conveniences are open from 8.00am to 8.00pm.

A flexible approach is applied where operationally feasible to reflect periods of increased demand. For example, when events are happening, they may be open until 11.00 pm and during the recent exceptionally busy May Bank Holiday weekend, facilities that would normally close at 6.00pm remained open until approximately 8.00pm, supported by the discretion and flexibility of the Council’s cleaning contractor.

Full details of opening times for all public conveniences in the town are available on the Council’s website:

All toilets are open and operational by 8.00am, except for the Swanage Museum and Heritage Centre toilets, which are open and operational by 10.00am.
