Chesil Beach History

Chesil Beach is a 28-kilometer long shingle beach located on the south coast of England, stretching from Portland to West Bay. It is a unique geological feature that has been shaped by natural forces over thousands of years.

The beach is made up of billions of pebbles that range in size from small gravel to large boulders. These pebbles were originally formed by erosion and weathering of the cliffs along the coast, and they were transported by the sea currents to the location where Chesil Beach now lies.
