Portland, Dorset: Surf and Seagulls,Chesil Beach, Easter Sunday

With short, sharp violent lights made vivid,

To the southward far as the sight can roam,

Only the swirl of the surges livid,

The seas that climb and the surfs that comb,

Only the crag and the cliff to nor'ward,

And rocks receding, and reefs flung forward,

And waifs wreck'd seaward and wasted shoreward

On shallows sheeted with flaming foam.

Adam Lindsay Gordon, from The Swimmer

Rather more dramatic - Dorset Echo:

See the moment daredevil walks across tightrope above crashing waves on Portland
