Portland shelters Weymouth Bay from south westerly winds and is a very interesting place to visit, Once a Naval Base it has become a premier centre for marine sports, its link to Weymouth is a plateau of rock joined to the mainland by a narrow causeway of shingle which is part of the 18 mile stretch of Chesil Beach.
