The UK's longest beach is now home to one of the best pubs in Britain for a seaside pint
BEACH trips in the UK are even better when you can gaze over the coastline while sipping on a cool drink at a seaside pub. So if that's what you're after then head to Chesil Beach in Dorset which has 18 miles of stretching coastline, bright blue waters in the summer - and an impressive seaside pub. 5 5 Chesil Beach is the longest and largest in the UK making it a very popular spot for UK tourists. It stretches for 18 miles from Portland to West Bay in Dorset - in fact, Chesil Beach actually connects the Isle of Portland to the mainland. And on the Isle of Portland, visitors can enjoy the views of Chesil Beach from a great coastal pub. Big 7 Travel has dropped a list of their 25 best spots for a seaside pint and Portland's Cove House Inn has made an appearance on the list. The Cove House Inn is an 18th-century pub on the Isle of Portland in Dorset and sits right on the esplanade. On a sunny day, visitors can sit outside under sun umbrellas and enjoy a pint or even a bite to eat. The pub is highly-rated on Tripadvisor and is number one out of the 32 restaurants on the Isle of Portland. One visitor commented: "And the VIEWS! Amazing - right on Chesil beach with views out to sea. What a gem of a place." Another added: "This place is food, great atmosphere and such friendly staff. The view is beautiful as well. I had the best fish and chips I have ever tasted - just perfect." On the menu is a selection of burgers from £13.50, lots of seafood dishes from fish pie to wholetail scampi and fish and chips. The English seaside town with no arcades or rides but named the best in the UK 5 5 On Sundays, visitors can enjoy roast dinner options. The pub is open between 12pm and 10.30pm Tuesday to Saturday. On Sundays, its opening hours are 12pm to 6pm. With the boozer right on the edge of Chesil Beach, you might even spot some incredible wildlife too. Dolphins are sometimes spotted off the coast as are porpoises and some people have even said they've seen whales - so take some binoculars too. Chesil Beach is also famous for having a lagoon, the shingle shore acts as a barrier between the sea and Fleet Lagoon. Fleet Lagoon is a large saline lake, which is one of the last undisturbed brackish lagoons left in the world. And it's home to lots of wildlife from little terns, wigeon, pochard, coots, even osprey have been seen on occasion. But while Chesil Beach is very beautiful and the water can be tempting, sadly it's not recommended to swim there because of its very strong undercurrents. If you want to swim, Chesil Cove, is the place to be. You'll find this spot on the Isle of Portland at the southern end of Chesil Beach where the beach curves towards the cliffs. And discover the UK's sunniest beach town that feels like going back in time has 'no arcades' and barely any rain. 5

Production Beach report total Western Flank production for the year was 2.3 MMboe, a decrease of 33% from the prior year. The decrease in production was mainly due to natural field decline and production interruptions from flooding in the Western Flank. The Company will update shareholders as soon as it is in receipt of any specific production forecasts for the GOR licences. Reserves Beach reports Western Flank reserves and contingent resources effective as of 30th June, 2025. Categories presented for reserves are 1P reserves (Proved) and 2P reserves (Proved and Probable).

FY26 Focus Beach are targeting the commencement of a 10-well oil appraisal and development campaign targeting undeveloped McKinlay/Birkhead reserves in the second half of FY26, subject to flood recovery and final approvals.

There is no time limit or expiry date on the GOR assets, and no cost to the Company to retain them. Newport has no control over operating decisions made by Beach. Accordingly, this prevents the Company from commenting on Beach's operating plans going forward.
