It was very inquisitive and I thought it was going to come out of the water. I was struggling with my dog and then it swam off on the direction of Charmouth coming up a few more times along the foreshore.

It came from West Bay Area and stayed visible with its head out of the water for about 10 minuets. It did not seem phased by the number of people on the beach all looking at it.
