Beautiful safe sandy beach, a favourite of King George III, with Italian ice cream and donkeys! Working harbour with lift-up bridge for tall masts - sit and watch the world go by. Great restaurants and cafés. Walk or drive to the Isle of Portland for great views of Chesil Beach and the Fleet ( a lagoon - great for bird watching).
