With the high rate of attacks on women in secluded Car Parks, especially during evening hours, Portland Harbour Authority has established a "Women Only" car park near East Street for the use of water sports users, and in particular, female divers.

Even the car park attendants and security staff are exclusively female, so that a comfortable and very safe environment is created for the ladies visiting the area

No men are allowed anywhere near the car park but a local photographer managed to snap the shot below for the local paper… at great personal risk!
