A man arrested on suspicion of raping a teenager in a beachside public toilet remains in police custody.
The 31-year-old was held after a woman in her late teens was attacked close to Undercliff Drive in Bournemouth at about 01:15 BST on Sunday.
Dorset Police said it wanted to speak to a man and a woman who were seen walking a brown dog in the area at the time.
The force said it also wanted to hear from a man in dark clothing carrying a backpack and seen walking towards Bournemouth Pier, as well as a group who interacted with the victim shortly after she was attacked.
A police cordon has been removed but there will be an increased police presence in the area while investigations continue.
