Descrição

A UNESCO World heritage Site, Chesil Beach is an 18 miles (29 km) long shingle beach on the South coast of England. For much of its length it is separated from the mainland by an area of saline water called the Fleet Lagoon. It is believed that Chesil was created as rising seas at the end of the ice ages threw up a sandy barrier between the sea and the Fleet. This barrier was then built up to its present remarkable height (up to 12 metres) over the last 5,000 years with shingle washed down from cliffs to the West.
