A long enjoyable arduous walk.
Chesil Beach的点评
点评：Totally free to take on this challenging walk along a pebble beach. The longest pebble beach in the world and it's on the Jurassic Coast in West Dorset. Start from Portland or West Bay. Do all of it or just a leisurely stroll along the Pebbles for 20 minutes purely for the experience. Good weather is preferable.
Chesil Beach full length walk.
My third and final attempt at boxing this off; properly! Six years ago, clearly inexperienced, I walked to Abbotsbury from Fortuneswell, purely on enthusiasm only. I hadn't realised how very tiring it was to walk on those shifting pebbles. So I gave up after ten miles due to not having time available to complete the entire walk. I hadn't taken refreshments either. When I reached Abbotsbury car park cafe, a wooden shack with serving hatch, they were about to begin closing. They refused to serve me any refreshments because they were closing. I offered to pay double, just for a canned drink and a chocolate bar. They spitefully refused. The can and chocolate were within arms reach. It would have been an effortless task to quickly serve me.I even offered that they keep the change from ten pounds? still No! However, their last customer was sitting in his car with his family and overheard my situation through his driver window. He asked if I was ok. I explained that I had walked along the Chesil from Portland and was feeling a little dizzy. Without hesitation, this very kind man, gave me his hot, sweetened coffee, because he understood that I was close to collapse. I'll never forget that gentleman (Thank you whoever you are. I often remember you.) and I haven't recommended that cafe to anyone since.
Six years later, still filled with enthusiasm, I did the entire walk again but walked further than I had intended to, due to being given the wrong advice on route by a good intentions tourist. They made me aware of cliff collapse obstructions on route that I should be prepared to avoid by taking a detour around it. There was a cliff collapse but more towards the very end. So the detour I had taken had been unnecessary.
Still not satisfied that I hadn't truly walked the entire beach itself. I did it again on 24 September this year 2025. I planned the walk properly this time. I started at the Portland end of the beach and walked to West Bay, entirely by the pebble beach. Remembering that spiteful car park cafe, I made sure I avoided it. I took my own packed lunch and lots of treats. I had my earbuds and a stack of albums from my connected phone. Smiles all day.
The walk began from Fortuneswell, in morning daylight at 07:40, with a cold wind, which I knew would dissipate once I was around four miles along on my route. The land to my right would help to calm things down. I was right. Within two hours I had taken my weatherproof coat off and tied it to my backpack..Quick coffee, quick look around. Odd photos taken. Back on my feet. Tunes chosen, volume up. Happy Days. The weather became perfect the whole day long.
I did a Google review of this walk with Garmin evidence to prove that I had done it, photos too. See Chesil Beach review. I initially deleted an account with TripAdvisor due to them not allowing photos to be submitted that have already been submitted elsewhere. Friends have said TripAdvisor is actually a good site and that I should at least leave a review there as well as Google maps.
Now by beginning this walk at an early time of day, with a relatively high tide, gives plenty of time to cover a lot of miles along the beach to enjoy a lower tide towards the end, nearing West Bay. A wider beach at low tide allows for a greater distance of separation from the dangerous cliffs that often collapse. At high tide it can become dreadfully dangerous to pass virtually underneath the actual cliffs that are prone to collapse. In this situation most walkers would join the South West Coastal footpath, which runs alongside over the cliffs. Be careful there though because the authorities have had to close sections of that path too, due to landslides. There is a diversion in place and you must heed the advice given. I also found that certain sections of the beach at low tide offer a stable platform of hard sand and grit to walk upon. Pebbles alone are exhausting after several hours, so you would welcome the chance to increase your pace by taking advantage of those occasions.
Well, still smiling, I did it in surprisingly good time. Under 7 hours walking, not including around an hour's worth of rest breaks. My feet were ok, although at times I wondered if I had repetitively strained muscles in my feet, as the associated pain would indicate. After a change from pebbles to hard sand, that pain resolved itself as if nothing was wrong.
West Bay offers all you could want at the end of an arduous walk. Food, accommodation and pubs, etc. Just like any small seaside town or village. It's worth visiting again for a couple of days itself. Something I will do at a later date.
To return to the start, at Portland, you can opt for a taxi or bus. I chose the very less expensive bus, X53 to Weymouth. At Weymouth, the last stop, transfer to bus 1. That will take you back to Portland where you began the walk. Once back, I jumped in my car and drove to my rented holiday accommodation. I had a great day. It was a very satisfying walking experience. One I would only do again if paid to do so. It was hard. I don't envy anyone who gives it a go.
Good Luck 🤞

翻译：完全免费体验这条充满挑战的鹅卵石海滩徒步路线。这是世界上最长的鹅卵石海滩，位于西多塞特郡的侏罗纪海岸。您可以从波特兰或西湾出发。您可以体验完整的鹅卵石海滩，或者纯粹为了体验而沿着鹅卵石海滩悠闲漫步20分钟。天气好的话更佳。
切瑟尔海滩全程徒步。
这是我第三次也是最后一次尝试完成这条路线，而且成功了！六年前，我显然缺乏经验，纯粹凭着热情从福琼斯韦尔步行到阿伯茨伯里。我当时并没有意识到在这些流动的鹅卵石上行走是多么累人。所以走了十英里后，我放弃了，因为没有时间走完全程。我也没有吃点东西。当我到达阿伯茨伯里停车场咖啡馆——一个带服务窗口的木屋——时，他们正准备打烊。他们拒绝给我提供任何茶点，因为他们正在打烊。我提出付双倍的钱，只为了一听饮料和一块巧克力。他们恶意地拒绝了。罐头和巧克力就在伸手可及的地方。快速为我服务应该轻而易举。我甚至提出让他们把十英镑的零钱留给我？还是不行！然而，他们最后一位顾客正和家人坐在车里，透过驾驶室的窗户听到了我的情况。他问我还好吗。我解释说，我从波特兰沿着切西尔街走来，感觉有点头晕。这位非常善良的男士毫不犹豫地给了我他那杯热腾腾的加糖咖啡，因为他知道我快要晕倒了。我永远不会忘记那位先生（不管你是谁，我都谢谢你。我经常想起你。），从那以后我就没再向任何人推荐过那家咖啡馆。
六年后，我仍然满怀热情地再次走完了整条路线，但由于一位好心的游客给出了错误的路线建议，我走得比预想的要远。他们提醒我沿途有悬崖坍塌的障碍物，我应该绕道而行以避开。确实有一次悬崖坍塌，但更多的是发生在接近终点的地方。所以我绕的那条路完全没必要。
我依然不满足于自己没有真正走完整个海滩。2025年9月24日，我又走了一遍。这次我计划周全。我从波特兰那头的海滩出发，一路沿着鹅卵石滩走到西湾。想起那家讨厌的停车场咖啡馆，我特意避开了它。我带了自己打包的午餐和很多零食。我戴着耳机，手机里装着一堆相册。一整天都面带笑容。
步行从福琼斯韦尔出发，清晨7点40分，天刚亮，刮着一阵冷风，我知道走了大约四英里后风就会散去。右边的土地会让我平静下来。我的猜测是对的。不到两个小时，我就脱下了防风雨外套，绑在背包上……快速喝了杯咖啡，快速环顾四周。拍了一些奇怪的照片。重新站起来。选好曲子，调高音量。快乐的时光。一整天的天气都很好。
我用谷歌评论了这次徒步，用Garmin相机拍照，证明我完成了这次徒步。参见切瑟尔海滩的评价。我最初删除了一个TripAdvisor账户，因为他们不允许提交已经在其他地方提交过的照片。朋友们说TripAdvisor其实是个不错的网站，我至少应该在那里和谷歌地图上留下评论。
现在，选择在一天中较早的时候开始这次徒步，潮水相对较高，这样就有充足的时间沿着海滩走很长一段路，在接近终点、接近西湾时享受退潮的乐趣。退潮时海滩更宽阔，可以与经常坍塌的危险悬崖保持更大的距离。涨潮时，从容易坍塌的悬崖下方穿过会变得非常危险。在这种情况下，大多数徒步者会选择西南海岸步道，这条步道沿着悬崖延伸。不过，在那里要小心，因为当局也不得不由于山体滑坡而关闭部分步道。这里有绕行路线，请务必听从指示。我还发现，退潮时，海滩的某些区域会形成一个稳定的平台，上面铺满了硬沙和砂砾，非常适合行走。光是走几个小时的鹅卵石路就已经让人精疲力竭，所以你最好抓住这个机会加快步伐。
嗯，我仍然面带微笑，我完成得出奇地快。步行不到7个小时，这还不包括大约一个小时的休息时间。我的脚还好，虽然有时我会怀疑我的脚部肌肉是不是反复拉伤了，因为相关的疼痛就表明了这一点。从鹅卵石路换到硬沙路后，疼痛就消失了，就像没事一样。
西湾提供了你在艰苦跋涉后想要的一切。食物、住宿、酒吧等等。就像任何海滨小镇或村庄一样。它本身就值得你再去住几天。以后我会再去的。
要回到起点波特兰，你可以选择出租车或公交车。我选择了非常便宜的X53路公交车，开往韦茅斯。在终点站韦茅斯换乘1路公交车。这条路会带你回到你开始徒步的波特兰。回来后，我跳上车，开往我租住的度假住所。我度过了美好的一天。这是一次非常令人满意的徒步体验。只有当有人付钱时，我才会再来一次。这很艰难。我并不羡慕任何尝试过的人。
祝你好运🤞
