One of Portland's most popular destinations is [[Portland Bill Lighthouse]]. Portland's coast has been notorious for the number of shipwrecked vessels over the centuries. The dangerous coastline features shallow reefs and the Shambles sandbank, made more hazardous due to the strong Portland [[tidal race.]]·<ref name="trinityhouse.co.uk">{{cite web\|url=https://www.trinityhouse.co.uk/lighthouses-and-lightvessels/portland-bill-lighthouse \|title=Portland Bill Lighthouse \|publisher=Trinity House \|date=1996-03-18 \|accessdate=2018-03-05}}</ref> The Bill is an important way-point for coastal traffic, and three lighthouses have been built to protect shipping.
