Portland Harbour is located beside the Isle of Portland, Dorset, on the south coast of England. When completed in 1872, its 520-hectare (1,300-acre) surface area made it the largest man made harbour in the world, and it is the third largest as of 2016 - Excerpt from
Portland is thought of as an island although this isn’t wholly correct in the true sense of the word as it’s reached over a causeway from Chesil Beach. Just 4 miles long by a mile and a half wide at its broadest point, this plate of Jurassic limestone is tilted from north to south. This means that if you are on the elevated northern side of the island you are rewarded with stunning views across the Chesil, Portland Harbour & Weymouth. - Excerpt from

Weymouth Bay and The Esplanade - England, UK
Weymouth Bay is a sheltered bay on the south coast of England, in Dorset. It is protected from erosion by Chesil Beach and the Isle of Portland, and includes several beaches, notably Weymouth Beach, a gently curving arc of golden sand which stretches from the resort of Weymouth. Weymouth Bay is situated approximately halfway along the UNESCO Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, a 153-kilometre (95 mi) long stretch of coast, important for its varied geology and many unique landforms.
Boundary
When Natural England looked at access to Weymouth Bay prior to the 2012 Olympic Games, they defined it as the stretch between Rufus Castle on the Isle of Portland and Lulworth Cove, an area which covers Portland Harbour, Weymouth Beach and Ringstead Bay.[1]
Sailing
The bay's waters are excellent for sailing — the best sailing waters in northern Europe,[2] in part because the bay is sheltered from south-west winds. This means that Portland Bill can be accessed easily from anywhere on Weymouth Bay by sailing when the tide is turning as an eddy flows along Portland's eastern side.[3]
The bay is home to the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy and hosted the sailing events for the 2012 Olympic Games. Since the games, the Academy's venue has continued to improve to ensure a legacy for the Olympic Games.[4]
Painting
Weymouth Bay: Bowleaze Cove and Jordon Hill was painted by the leading English landscape artist John Constable in 1816–17. Constable had honeymooned on the south coast in October 1816, inspiring the painting. The painting now hangs in the National Gallery, London.[5]
The ESPLANADE
The Esplanade is immediately next to the sandy Weymouth Beach. To the south at the end of the Esplanade are Weymouth Pier,the Condor Ferries terminal for ferry service to the Channel Islands and the Pavilion Theatre.[1] Also towards the south is King's Statue - a statue of King George III who visited Weymouth and helped to make sea bathing fashionable here.
The Jubilee Clock is a brightly painted and very visible feature on the Esplanade. It was erected in 1887 to mark the Golden jubilee of Queen Victoria. To the north is the suburb of Greenhill.
There are a number of tourist-oriented shops on the Esplanade, together with many guest houses, hotels, and places to eat. These include the long-established Rossi's Ices, which started trading in 1937.[2]
Redevelopment
As part of the regeneration of Weymouth and Portland, it was decided in 2007 that the Esplanade will be redeveloped in time for the 2012 Olympic Games.[3]
The scheme could include the restoration and extension the Pier Bandstand at the northern end of the Esplanade. The exterior's Art Deco features and symmetry would be restored, the ground floor converted into a café, restaurant and toilet facilities, and the upper floor extended out to sea with a curved wooden deck.[4] The area in front of the bandstand would be redesigned into a 1930s-style square, as the northern gateway to the Esplanade.[3][5]
United States:
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S.) or America (/əˈmɛrɪkə/), is a federal republic[16][17] composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions.[fn 6] Forty-eight states and the federal district are contiguous and located in North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.[19]
At 3.8 million square miles (9.8 million km2)[20] and with over 324 million people, the United States is the world's third- or fourth-largest country by total area,[fn 7] and the third-most populous. The capital is Washington, D.C., and the largest city is New York City; twelve other major metropolitan areas—each with at least 4.5 million inhabitants—are Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, Phoenix, and Riverside.
Weymouth (A quick tour)
Weymouth is a seaside town in Dorset, England, situated on a sheltered bay at the mouth of the River Wey on the English Channel coast. The town is 13 kilometres (8 mi) south of Dorchester and 8 kilometres (5 mi) north of the Isle of Portland. The town's population is 52,950 (2006) with a catchment population of 71,700 (2001).
Although Weymouth is situted in the West Dorset area, it is not considered part of West Dorset nor is it governed by West Dorset District Council (WDDC). Much like a city, Weymouth is governed by it's own council. In this case it is Weymouth and Portland Borough Council.
The A354 road bridge connects Weymouth to Portland, which together form the borough of Weymouth and Portland. The history of the borough stretches back to the 12th century; including involvement in the spread of the Black Death, the settlement of the Americas, the development of Georgian architecture, and preparations for World War II.
Fishing and trading employ fewer people in the area since their peak in earlier centuries, but tourism has continuously increased its presence in the town since the 18th century and is now the primary industry. Weymouth is a tourist resort, and its economy depends on its harbour and visitor attractions; the town is a gateway situated half-way along the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site on the Dorset and east Devon coast, important for its geology and landforms. Weymouth Harbour is home to cross-channel ferries, pleasure boats and private yachts, and nearby Portland Harbour is home to the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, where the sailing events of the 2012 Olympic Games will be held.

Chesil Beach: Historic Beating of the Bounds ceremony, Portland
Portland's traditional Beating of the Bounds ceremony was held at a remote spot on Chesil Beach, in May 2016.
This ancient ritual has been held every seven years probably for more than 1000 years, interrupted only by wartimes.
The boundary of the Island and Royal Manor of Portland is marked by a stone on the crest of the beach, some distance north-west of the Army bridging camp.
Members of the Portland Court Leet, representatives of the Crown Estate, the Borough Mayor of Weymouth and Portland, Cllr. Christine James, the Town Mayor of Portland, Cllr. Rod Wild, guests and onlookers watched as IPACA’s Head Girl Ellie Freeman and Head Boy Harry Alford - bent prostrate over the Bound Stone - were ceremoniously (and painlessly) ‘beaten’ with the Reeve Staff. This was administered by the Rector of Portland, the Revd. Tim Gomm, and by the Reeve of the Manor, Pamela Homer. The idea was to imprint on the young generation the importance of knowing and respecting the Island’s single natural boundary with the rest of England.
The proceedings were organised and introduced by the Crown Local Agent and Bailiff, Philip George, and the Ascension Day address and prayers were given by Revd. Tim Gomm.
The date was inscribed on the block by Danny Hilton of Albion Stone Restoration, who was himself Head Boy at the Royal Manor College (now IPACA) several years previously.
The position of the stone was verified by surveyor Colin Graham, who, thanks to the gloriously fine weather was able to take bearings to the distant Hardy’s Monument, Pulpit Rock at Portland Bill, and the radar dome on top of Verne Hill, The check was even more necessary this time has the stone was damaged and moved in the great storm of February 2014.
The party had been conveyed across the Fleet lagoon fast river boats by the Army by courtesy of Major M. Homer of the Wyke Regis Training Area (Bridging Camp). It was one of Major Homer’s last duties as he retired from the army the next day.
Chesil Beach south of the Bound Stone is owned by the Crown and is registered common land with rights administered by the Portland Court Leet. The public has the right of access over it, and the beach is protected by numerous national and international designations. The beach to the north-west is owned by the Ilchester Estates.

LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS #2 - SAILING - PORTLAND BILL - by Stuart Fretwell & Stewart Rodgers - Kodak Zi6
CHECK OUT THE 1ST VIDEO, HERE - North end the Island, Olympic Village, Chiswell -
CHECK OUT THE 3RD VIDEO, HERE - Chesil beach, North end of the Island, where the Australian sailing team celebrated the opening of the Games with a party at Cove House Inn -
On the 27th July 2012, the London Olympics will officially begin. For the following month or so things will be pretty hectic at the National Sailing Academy, at the northern end of The Isle Of Portland in Dorset U.K.
Here's a look at the quieter southern tip; home to the famous Portland Bill lighthouse, rugged limestone ledges dropping to the sea, native coastal flora & the treacherous Portland-Race ocean current.
The Isle & Royal Manor of Portland ( to give it its full title) is a huge block of oolitic limestone, jutting out into the English Channel. It is not, strictly-speaking, an island but rather a 'Tombolo' - a mass of land, joined to the mainland by a shingle bank; in this case the world-famous Chesil Beach which extends for some 14 kms.
The shingle bank is separated from the mainland, for some of its length, by a brackish tidal strip called The Fleet, where wonderful oysters are cultivated. In the same area you will find the R.S.P.B. bird reserve. A new cafe, education-centre and viewing area has been completed in time for the Olympics!
Unless you walk the length of Chesil beach, there is only one way, on or off, the Isle . . and that is by using a road-bridge which crosses the Fleet, where it enters Portland Harbour. It's certainly going to be busy during the Olympics!
