Chesil Beach, Dorset


  • Located in Dorset, South West England, England
  • Part of Dorset's Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site
  • 29 kilometres (18 mi) long shingle beach
  • 200 metres (660 ft) wide and 15 metres (50 ft) high
  • Mostly separated from the mainland by an area of saline water called the Fleet Lagoon
  • Runs from Portland in the east to West Bay in the west
  • Inspired this magical line: '18 miles and 180 billion pebbles' (see chesilbeach website below)!
  • Owing to the fact that it's made up of little pebbles, the beach can be hard to walk on for great distances
  • The sound of sea on shingle is wonderful
