Several hotels and beech café along this stretch depending where you park if you have your own transport, some place you might be able to park free but other pay and display. Jurassic coast line on your doorstep so enjoy as this... More

Plenty of walking to be done all along the 20 or so miles. It looks amazing although I believe the pebbles are 'topped up' now to maintain the attraction which I can understand but spoils the idea of it just appearing overnight if that's the case. Portland end is great in a storm to stand in the wind and see/hear... More

Clean and beautiful stretch of miles and miles of pebbles. The car park is very conveniently almost at the beach. It felt unusual to be able to stop on the road connecting the mainland to portland. The visitor centre has good clean WC facilities and a cafe in addition to a good collection of keepsakes. On a good sunny day... More

I have lived within 20 yards of this amazing beach for the past twelve years. The beach itself is eighteen miles long stretching from Portland to West Bay. If you wish to take a photograph which makes this attraction unique, go to the top of Abbotsbury Hill on the B3157 Weymouth to Bridport road and pull in the lay-bys at... More

I pulled into the car park next to the Chesil Beach café and the minimum stay was 2 hours. Walking up the bank was hard on the legs as you're climbing through small stones which move under your feet. Once you get to the top the view is fantastic. I walked down to the edge of the sea and sat... More
