Chisel Beach is a ridge topped with shingle stretching from  West Bay, where it is at the foot of East Cliff, then
to the west leaves the cliffs forming an arch as it reaches the  Isle of Portland.
Chisel Beach appears to be a barrier formed from the sea bed by south westerly tidal surges which is occasionally
over-topped, notably the hurricane of November 1824, and storm surge of 13th February 1978.
A natural tombola joins Portland with the mainland at  Weymouth, which had natural lower points than Chisel Beach,
and has been widened and dredged to form a permanent entrance under Ferry Bridge from Portland Harbour,
ensuring that Fleet Lagoon, remains tidal, providing sheltered marine environment between Chisel Beach and
the undulating coastline back ten miles to  Abbotsbury where Chisel Beach leaves the original coastline.

Please suggest websites only with scientific content here about Chesil Beach off the south coast of West Dorset.   
Other websites should be suggested to the appropriate locality so that they can be added there to
