Chesil Beach (also known as Chesil Bank) in Dorset, England is one of three major shingle beach structures in Britain. Its name is derived from the Old English ceosel or cisel, meaning "gravel" or "shingle". It runs for a length of 29 kilometres (18 mi) from West Bay to the Isle of Portland and in places is up to 15 metres (50 ft) high and 200 metres (660 ft) wide. Behind the beach is the Fleet, a shallow tidal lagoon. Both are part of the Jurassic Coast and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and together form an SSSI and Ramsar Site.

  • Chesil Beach (gelegentlich auch Chesil Bank) ist eine Küstenformation in Dorset, England. Die Formation erstreckt sich über 29 km von West Bay (früher Bridport Harbour) bis nach Chiswell auf der Isle of Portland. Sie verbindet dabei die Isle of Portland mit dem Festland bei Weymouth. Die Formation ist 200 m breit und 15 m hoch und schützt die Orte Weymouth und Chiswell gegen die Hauptwind und -wellenrichtung. Von West Bay bis in die Nähe von Abbotsbury verläuft die Chesil Beach an den Klippen, dann trennt Chesil Beach eine mit Brackwasser gefüllte Lagune ab, genannt „The Fleet“. Chesil Beach und The Fleet sind Teil der Jurassic Coast und damit ebenfalls UNESCO-Weltnaturerbe. (de)
