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

Great for walks and fishing .. but do not swim the tides are strong and very dangerous .. the beach shelves very steeply to the water .. lovely views across Lyme Bay

we visit quiet often, great for all types of people and familys can have great fun looking for the fossils that you can find there, people off all ages can join in the hunt and give shouts of glee when someone finds a nice one.
