Chesil Cove, Protected cove at Portland, Great Britain.
The steep pebble beach forms the southeastern end of the 29-kilometer Chesil Beach, connecting West Bay to the Isle of Portland.
The Great Storm of 1824 caused severe flooding, resulting in thirty deaths and destroying eighty houses, leading to sea wall construction in 1958.
Local fishermen developed specialized Lerret vessels to navigate the demanding conditions of Chesil Beach for their fishing operations.
Divers access the water through a designated ramp near the storm gate, where depths range from 6 to 18 meters with minimal tidal influence.
The underwater environment contains numerous shipwrecks, creating natural habitats for marine species such as dogfish, crabs, lobsters, and anemones.
