Welcome to Chesil Beach Café

Our secret hidden gem of a beach café is tucked away on the world famous Chesil coastline; a stones throw from Abbotsbury on the South West Coast Path. Taken over by Sally’s Fish Camp in May 2024, we offer a menu of seafood specials and traditional favourites with outdoor seating or to takeaway. All deliciously fresh, seasonal and sourced locally. From daily artisan pastries through to local Portland crab sandwiches! Party / Group bookings are available.

There is plenty of parking (currently £1ph) with an easy access boardwalk from the car park to the dog friendly beach, plus 24hr toilet facilities.

Keep an eye on our events calendar (tickets sell fast) and we look forward to seeing you soon!

The finest pebble barrier in Europe

Chesil Beach Café is one of the few accesses to the Chesil banks by foot, car and pony! The beach is dog friendly too, and is a haven for fisherman from far & wide. Because of its steeply shelved banks and strong under-tow, swimming is not recommended. Please also note, it is strictly forbidden to remove any pebbles from the beach.
