Overview

Overview

A Victorian esplanade seafront where donkey rides and Punch and Judy still entertain and dinghies pull up at harbour side pubs in summer months. Today, Weymouth is a modern-day town on a rugged stretch of prehistoric Jurassic coastline.

Seaside

Deckchairs line Weymouth Beach, where holidaymakers are drawn to safe bathing and clean sands. Kids' fairground rides and puppet shows draw young crowds in front of The Esplanade. Seek peace on the pebbles at Greenhill and Preston beaches or see the Jurassic coast in many guises. Crunch over the endless shingle bank at Chesil Beach, see waves pound Durdle Door 's dramatic arches and find ammonites in Bowleaze Cove.

Inland

See Christopher Wren's stone supplies on Portland Island – where quarries dip and Portland Bill Lighthouse rises up. Visit sea turtles and otters at SEA LIFE Weymouth, clamber ramparts at Nothe Fort or go twitching on the RSPB reserves at Lodmoor Country Park and Radipole Lake.

Escape

Lie low in a birdwatching hide at Radipole Lake or retreat to nurseries at the Monetstyle Bennetts Water Gardens. Walk the shingle strip for miles on Chesil Beach and spot rare Oystercatchers and Lapwings. Watch Red Admiral butterflies flutter around quiet quarries on Portland Island walks.

Adventure

Seafarers sail the waters at this 2012 Olympics Games yachting venue or brave the salty splash in whitewater rafts. Don dry suits and scuba dive shipwrecks in clear waters. Get high octane and learn to skim the coast kite surfing or pedal between outlying Dorset villages.

Eat & Drink

Pick Dorset produce from monthly Weymouth Farmers' Markets or dine in bistros amongst cobbled courtyards at Victorian-style Brewers Quay. Taste the ocean on the harbour front – seafood casserole at Mallams Restaurant or grilled plaice at Perry's Restaurant. Tuck into pub grub and guest beers down town.

Nightlife

Party till late at brash Harry's Club on two dance floors or see live bands at Dusk. Pubcrawl The Esplanade or taste wines on the harbour front at Lanes.

Take home

Hoard collectibles at monthly Weymouth Antiques and Collectors Fair or trinkets from Weymouth's Indoor Flea Market at Weymouth Pavilion. Treat family to collectibles and Swarovski crystal from Brewer's Quay gift emporiums.

Prepare

Prepare

Pack your waterproofs and walking boots for Jurassic coast and Portland trekking and your bucket, spade and kiss-me-quick hat for Weymouth beach.

See the multi-coloured coastal skyline at the International Beach Kite Festival in May or dig deep into your pockets at Lifeboat Week (Jul).

Highlights

Highlights

A seaside town and sailing haven sitting on the ancient Dorset coastline.

From Portland Bill Lighthouse or the ramparts of Nothe Fort see pounding waves attack this dramatic, fossil-rich coastline. The jagged headland of Portland Island protects the sheltered, sandy stretch of Weymouth Bay which fronts this vibrant Dorset town.

Here it's easy to imagine Victorian seaside life on The Georgian Esplanade. Today sailors shelter their yachts in the harbour and families queue for beach donkey rides or escape to numerous family attractions – SEA LIFE Weymouth Timewalk Museum.

Sightseeing Tips

Plan ahead and contact Weymouth and Portland Tourist Information for flyers and guides before peak season visits and cut out discount vouchers for free or cheap days out. Stay out of season when summer beach festivals are over for a real taste of local life.
