Coronavirus (COVID-19)

If you are planning on travelling distance to attractions, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

The Fine Foundation Chesil Beach Centre

Chesil Beach is a natural wonder ­ - a bank of 180 billion pebbles stretching for 18 miles along the Dorset Coast. Trapped behind this pebble bank is the Fleet ­ one of the most wildlife-rich lagoons in the country.
Visit us at the Chesil Beach Centre to discover all about Chesil Beach and the Fleet Lagoon. Our family-friendly visitor Centre has interactive displays about the formation of the beach, local wildlife and history. Glimpse under the lagoon with our underwater camera, try a spot of bird watching, explore our marine touch table and listen to stories of fishermen who worked on the beach.
It is a modern, accessible building with an integrated learning space, picnic area, gift shop and toilets. There is ample parking in a pay and display car park and a boardwalk next to the Centre allowing easy access to the beach.
