The Jurassic Coast
The stunning East Devon and Dorset coastline stretches for over 95 miles and has protected World Heritage Site status, ranking it alongside the Grand Canyon and Great Barrier Reef as one of the natural wonders of the world.
The geology of the coastline spans the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and provides visitors with fantastic fossil hunting opportunities.
Chesil Beach
Stretching for 18 miles north-west from Portland to West Bay, Chesil is one of the finest barrier beaches in the world. It is made up of pebbles and shingle and has stood up to the full force of the Atlantic for thousands of years. It protects the Fleet, which is the largest tidal lagoon in Britain and a place on international importance for its birds and marine wildlife.
Nearby attractions include Abbotsbury Swannery which has the oldest managed swan population in the world.
Weymouth and Portland Sailing
Weymouth and Portland will soon play host to the sailing events at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The sailing takes place at the Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy, which was developed to take advantage of some of the best small boat sailing waters world-wide.
The venue will be the 2nd largest Olympic and Paralympic Games venue after London and it will be a memorable sailing experience for spectators with ticketed spectator areas, and vantage points around the harbour where you will be able to watch the events for free. There are also plans for a free Live Screen on Weymouth Beach, and Festival and Stage entertainment areas.
