Hiking
The 18-mile (30 km) Chesil Beach is a dramatic shingle strip which connects Abbotsbury to Portland. Thanks to the shingle ridge, a large, brackish lagoon lies immediately behind, protected from the changeable Lyme Bay. The lagoon is a thriving habitat for birds and you can take a boat trip to explore it properly.
Chesil Beach is also an excellent spot for fishing and if you're here during mackerel season, chances are you'll see plenty of anglers getting bites.

Chesil Beach is a stunning pebble beach stretching along the south coast of England. At approximately 18 kilometers long, it is one of the most famous and beautiful stretches of coastline in the region. The beach is composed of thousands of small pebbles that sparkle in the sunlight, creating a unique atmosphere.
The beach is perfect for walks, picnics, or simply relaxing and enjoying the fresh sea air. At low tide, you can walk far out and explore the fascinating natural surroundings, while at high tide, the water gently laps against the shore.
