Sandwiched between sandbags is a 500 pound American bomb found near to Little Sea. Dropped around 1944 when the Armed Forces were practising for D Day this bomb had laid about 4 ft down until an EOD team picked it up during a routine survey at Studland.

Was this the explosion I heard today and cloud of smoke after whilst on sandbanks beach this afternoon
Yes it was at about 2.20pm?
It was not as big as the EOD expected for a 500lb bomb.
There was an identical explosion again today, Thursday 22nd... was this another one? And why wasn't the beach/dunes evacuated again?
