Among the holiday cottages Dorset can offer is this property behind Chesil Beach, a 16-mile long shingle beach stretching from West Bay near Bridport to The Isle of Portland. Pebbles are graded from east to west - the largest at the Portland end. Fishermen coming ashore in fog are said to have been able to tell where they were from the size of the pebbles. Perhaps not the best beach for bathers, it is nevertheless a sight to behold and worth a visit. A walk along the beach starting either at West Bay, Abbotsbury or Ferrybridge is the best way to experience the beach (but very tiring). Those searching for the hotel featured in the novel On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan might be disappointed to know that it does not exist.
