About this spot
One of the most powerful and technically demanding wave spots on the south coast. Chesil's steep shingle beach produces a brutal shore break and a strong undertow in any significant swell. Strictly for experienced wave riders who know what they're doing — and when to walk away.
Hazards
Steep shingle beach · Heavy shore break · Strong undertow · No easy self-rescue
Parking
The Dorset Council car park (616 spaces including 8 disabled) sits right behind the beach. A 24-hour stay costs £20. Pay by cash, card, phone or JustPark. Motorhomes may not park overnight between 10pm and 8am.
