Coastal Areas in South East England
Old Harry Rocks

Portland Bill to The Needles

Portland Bill, at the east of Lyme Bay, marks the eastern approach to South East England's incomparable cruising area. Weymouth is a traditional English Seaside resort and harbour, its Bay and nearby Portland harbour will host the world's best sailors during the Olympic Games in 2012. The Jurassic Coast between Weymouth and Swanage is visually dramatic and rich in fossil treasures. The chalk cliffs of Old Harry Rocks at Studland lie to the of south of Poole Harbour, with its many facilities for visiting boats. Christchurch Bay and Bournemouth, one of England's premier resorts, mark the eastern approaches to the Isle of Wight and the Solent.
Sailing into Cowes

The Solent

The internationally renowned Solent is probably the most famous leisure boating area in the world. Between the south coast of the English mainland and the Isle of Wight, this area offers many places to explore and stay. Southampton and Portsmouth host many of the world's long distance sailing races, Cowes on the Isle of Wight welcomes the world's racing yachtsmen, and the Solent is animated with leisure boating throughout the year. Waterside towns await visiting yachts with all possible facilities, and yet the Solent also provides many quieter moorings in England's most beautiful natural surroundings.
The Dover Port

Chichester to The Medway

The South East corner of England between the Thames Estuary and Chichester is a busy passage area both for leisure cruising and the shipping and ferry lanes of the Channel. The Medway on the south of the approach to the Thames has many facilities for visitors. The White Cliffs of Dover are a British icon, looking across the Channel to France, and the busy Ferry ports also offer fine facilities for cruising visitors. The south coast has many yacht harbours between Dover and Chichester, including those at the well known resorts of Eastbourne and Brighton.
