Chesil Cove, Portland
Take a look at the stunning views over Chesil Cove at the eastern end of the world-famous Chesil Beach from the webcam on the Isle of Portland. Watch the waves rolling into the cove, see the weather change along the Jurassic Coast and enjoy a live view of one of Dorset’s most dramatic coastal landscapes.
Chesil Cove marks the eastern end of the spectacular 18-mile Chesil Beach, where the vast shingle bank curves around the foot of the Isle of Portland. The beach forms part of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is a popular spot for fishing, diving, swimming and enjoying the dramatic coastal scenery.
On rough days, the waves crashing against the shingle can be particularly impressive, while calmer conditions reveal the beautiful coastline and clear waters around Portland.
