Dee & Derek’s Chesil Vista Retreat

We are Denise (Dee to family/friends) & Derek and we live in County Durham, we moved to our present caravan at Chesil Vista in August 2019 where we like to spend holidays with our grandchildren Ellie and Duncan who live in Poole. Chesil Vista is a 5 star rated holiday park located at Wyke Regis area of Weymouth overlooking Chesil Beach with views over toward the Isle of Portland, a sister park to the larger Waterside Holiday Park at Bowleaze Cove Chesil is a smaller (less than 300 caravans/lodges) less busy park yet with good facilities to suit both ourselves, our grandchildren and our potential guests. It is situated on the main bus route between Portland and Weymouth with services running from early morning until late at night. In summer there is also a bus service to Portland Bill lighthouse. For those who like exploring the coastline the park is situated along the South West Coastal Path and there are a number of interesting routes to explore on Portland. The park offers great facilities including an outdoor play area/sports field, a good size soft play area and amusement arcade, there is also a seating area and TV’s adjacent to the soft play area all free to use with complimentary passes.
