#greatoutdoors Chesil Beach, sometimes called Chesil Bank, in Dorset, southern England is one of three major shingle structures in Britain. Chesil Beach is 18 miles (28 kilometres) long and on average is 160 metres wide and rises to 12 metres in height. It is a pebble and shingle tombolo connecting Portland to Abbotsbury and then continuing north-westwards to West Bay near Bridport. It is the largest tombolo in the UK.

Portland, Dorset, England UK Famous for a reason, Chesil Beach is 29km (18 miles) long! A UNESCO World Heritage Site along the fantastic Jurassic Coast. The shingle beach is not easy to walk on but is so impressive. Be sure to drive over to the Isle of Portland to capture the views of the coast in both directions. #LifeAtExpedia #bvsblue #BeachTips

Verified traveller

It was ok to go to but it's really just a massive expanse of pebbles which make walking quite tiring (like snow or sand). You have to pay to park and the toilets were disgusting - avoid if possible!
