This Type 22 beach defence pillbox lies on the shore at Wyke Regis, Weymouth, facing south-west out over the eastern end of the Fleet Lagoon and Chesil Beach.  Note the three small vertical apertures in place of a standard loophole in the right of the photo.

The porch that protected the entrance has collapsed due to subsidence.
