Visited the cafe and found a good selection of food, it was late for lunch, but they still had plenty of choice, with some great vegan and vegetarian options. Food was very tasty and the coffee good. I think this cafe can get quite busy, but with plenty of seating, inside and out, this was not a problem. It was a great stopping point on our cycle ride to Portland.

Amazing little spot, the food is fantastic!! The centre has a well stocked gift shop and some informative and interactive exhibitions, my children particularly enjoyed watching the live underwater camera showing the fish swimming by. The staff and volounteers were delightful.

Highly recommend a visit here if you are holidaymakers like us. We spent abit of time on Chesil beach and had lunch in the cafe section. Not the cheapest but delivered on quality. The centre is great for adults jd children to learn about history and the views are also great of you just want to relax after a long walk.

Haven for walkers and bird watchers. Very nice visitor centre. Plenty of information about Chesil Beach, the wild flowers that grow there and the wildlife that inhabits the area. There’s a few children’s activities that go on here. Shop is well stocked, sell decent binoculars as well as all sorts of items. Bonus to visiting here is The Taste Cafe, food is always good, staff are friendly, toilets clean.

Beautiful location, yummy food served in the cafe. Plenty of parking. Recommended bringing binoculars to watch the water birds. Sep walk up the pebbles to the sea but definitely recommend it

Best gluten-free chocolate cake, EVER! Also beautiful panoramic windows looking out over the wetland, for those days when outside is too challenging.

Great little centre. Perfect way to start the trek from one end of the beach down to the other. Very informative and useful. The little wooden bridge onto the pebble beach itself is decorated with some wooden animal carvings and memorial plaques which is a nice touch. The car park like many in the error seemed to have issues with taking card payments so I'd recommend either downloading the app or using change. Nice view across to Portland as well
