The Chesil Beach Visitors Centre is located at the southern end of the Fleet Lagoon on the Ferrybridge car park between Weymouth and Portland. The current centre was opened in 1994 and replaced a makeshift centre operated from a temporary building.

The building was jointly funded by the Crown Estates, Weymouth & Portland Borough Council, Portland Court Leet and Ilchester Estates. The displays were sponsored by English Nature (now Natural England), the Environment Agency, Wessex Water, and the Rural Development Commission. Roger Oakes did the artwork in the visitors room.

The Centre was visited by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh in 1999.

The Chesil Beach Visitors Centre is one of the Dorset Coastlink chain of visitor centres.
