Views

There are views of the sea from West Fleet Farm.  You can also see the Chesil Beach.  The beach itself is separated from the mainland by the Fleet Lagoon which stretches from Portland to Abbotsbury.

 

Access to the Fleet Shore

You can get to the shore of the Fleet (an inland stretch of water open to the sea) from West Fleet Farm. There are several paths from the camping park to the Fleet and, depending on how fast you walk, takes 10 to 15 minutes.

 

Swimming

Swimming is not recommended from Chesil Beach.  It is dangerous.  Go to Weymouth Bay or West Bay instead.  Chesil Beach is best for fishing, walking and just sitting and watching!  You can, of course, swim in the West Fleet heated pool.

 

Swimming

Swimming in the Fleet is not recommended. Go to Weymouth Bay or West Bay instead.  The Fleet is best enjoyed from the shore.  You can, of course, swim in the West Fleet heated pool.

 

Fishing

You are not allowed to fish in the Fleet Lagoon.  It is an important nature reserve and only people with a licence are allowed to fish in it.  At some times of year you will see local fishermen setting nets in pursuit of fish but, especially, eels.  This is a tradition that is probably centuries old.

 

Fishing

You can fish off the Chesil Beach (you will need to go to Portland or Abbotsbury to do so).  Many locals enjoy fishing for mackerel and other species off the Chesil Bank.  Some have boats along the Fleet Shore which they are allowed to use to cross the Fleet.  You have to have  a licence to use any boat on the Fleet.  There is an outright ban on sails and motors.

 

Boats

You can’t take boats or canoes on the Fleet.  But if you are heading to Weymouth, Portland or West Bay (Bridport) or anywhere else with your watercraft, you are welcome to stay at West Fleet Farm.
