Fishing?Perfect place is here
Summer is here! Sun is out!
Wanna go fishing and get relaxed? This is the perfect place you want to be. Peaceful and perfect place to visit.
Just don’t forget your rods and everything you need to have fun! There’s also a store at the entrance and a pay parking. Pay parking is a pound per hour and a store where you can buy coffee and snacks.
A good place to visit in summer.

#europetrip
Beautiful beach and the waves are amazing to see. We went two days in a row and it was extremely windy. Seems like that part of the UK is really windy. Also the saw the beach from a high viewpoint looked absolutely gorgeous. Will come back here for sunset next time we in Dorset.
Fantastic beach for the scenery. Definite wow factor. Not the easiest beach to walk on as very pebbly, some quite large. Car park at the visitor centre next to the Fleet Lagoon.

Light The Way Forward! Portland Lighthouse 🇬🇧
The south of England contains many scenic treasures. The peninsula of Portland is amongst the greatest of these, and a journey to the lighthouse on its very tip is well worth the effort. Indeed Portland Lighthouse stands on the very edge of the peninsula, jutting out towards France and the Atlantic Ocean. It has a majestic sweeping view out to sea. From here you could sail to the Americas without seeing another dot of land. The visitors centre is well worth checking out. The visitors centre contains a small museum, and for extra money visitors can ascend the tower itself. There is also a lovely gift shop. Nearby visitors will find a restaurant and cafe with a small shop. The views from the cafes outside seats are breathtaking!#england #beachlife #Lighthouse #Portland #Southwest
