Chesil Beach

Dorset

Located in Dorset, South West England, Chesil Beach is part of the Jurassic Coast, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001. 

Chesil Beach is 18 miles of shingle and has long been a very popular location for keen anglers. Chesil Beach is also enjoyed by families and allows dogs all year round.

If you need a little break for refreshments while visiting, then you’ll find the Taste* Cafe right next to the car park; you can treat yourself to a coffee and a slice of cake or something more substantial, like a sandwich or full English breakfast.
