Chiswell - all beaches

This is an excellent spot for families with plenty of options for shopping, dining, and a small amusement park for kids to enjoy 😄. The water is pristine and inviting, with many people engaging in various water activities. During our visit, the water was quite shallow. There is never a dull moment in the vicinity, with plenty of activities to keep one occupied. I highly recommend this beach to anyone; we had a fantastic time and adore this place.

Who needs the hustle and bustle of a crowded beach when you can escape to this hidden gem? Tucked away from the masses, this pebble beach boasts charming little chalets that offer a unique and tranquil getaway. And let's not forget about the stunning Greenhill garden, which is clearly tended to with the utmost care and attention. Kudos to the maintenance team for keeping this slice of paradise looking absolutely gorgeous.

To truly experience this beach, timing is everything. If you arrive during peak hours, be prepared to compete for limited parking and a spot on the small stretch of sand. However, if you are fortunate enough to make it, consider bringing a canoe or dinghy as this is a popular spot for launching them.

This magnificent beach on the Jurassic Coast in Weymouth boasts a vast pebble expanse and a souvenir shop, as well as a fun fair for the little ones. The fish and chips are a real treat, and the stunning scenery includes distant cruise ships and the picturesque Portland. I am currently staying at Haven Weymouth Bay, and today I decided to make my way to the beach once again. The waves were wild and the shoreline was covered in seaweed, but I still managed to enjoy a refreshing dip in the sea, with the waves crashing around me. As I sat on the smooth pebbles, I was mesmerized by the powerful waves and the breathtaking views. The nearby coastal cliffs are perfect for dog walkers and beach games, making this a truly unforgettable experience.

The coastal path is absolutely amazing. There is an abundance of wildlife to observe, and the views overlooking the sea are simply breathtaking. Although the walk can be a bit challenging in certain areas, having a reliable pair of walking boots will greatly help. Don't forget to bring a camera along as it is essential for capturing the beauty of this walk. Enjoy!

We stayed in the 'glamping' bell tents for a few nights as a special treat while our friends camped in a nearby field. Considering the extra cost we paid for the tent and the lanterns, chairs, etc., you would expect the inside to have been cleaned before our arrival! There was a used band-aid, candy wrappers, and a lot of spider webs at chest height, indicating that the tent hadn't been occupied in a while. Although this was disappointing, we did enjoy the facilities and activities offered at the site, such as the circus school, dog walking, and food outlets. The communal showers were clean and functional, but there should be more washing up stations to avoid long queues of up to 40 minutes. The toilets were generally fine, but the antibacterial gel was not refilled in the evenings when toilet paper was restocked! The prices at the shop, food outlets, and bar were quite reasonable, and they offered a variety of local products. The on-site bakery was a fantastic addition! Despite the site being advertised as 'family-friendly', there seemed to be a lack of concern from security regarding campers who made excessive noise (such as shouting loudly for an hour at 2 am), which was quite bothersome. However, we didn't experience any traffic issues mentioned by others, as the staff managed the one-way system quite efficiently.
