Portland Marina
Tucked inside Portland Harbour — one of the largest natural harbours in the UK — Portland Marina gives you well-sheltered, secure berthing with serious protection from the notorious Dorset swells. The place has a genuine working-port character, and right on site you'll find Salt restaurant and bar at 7 Hamm Beach Road if you fancy live music and a proper meal. Chesil Beach and the Isle of Portland's dramatic coastal walks are right on your doorstep.
