Weymouth Beach

A regular feature on top UK beach lists across the board, Weymouth Beach offers all the staples of a great summer day out. Walk along the promenade and admire the views of the iconic Jurassic Coastline with some local fish and chips, or gather the family on the sand for a traditional Punch and Judy show.

After a day on the beach, the town’s vibrant traditional harbour is well worth checking out. Treat yourself to a gift or two at one of the harbour’s quirky shops, browse the antique emporium, or try some award-winning fare at one of the harbour’s alfresco restaurants. The harbour is also host to a whole variety of events and festivals.

The Nyetimber Seafood Festival takes place every July with a whole host of local eateries tempting tourists with their delicious food, while Nothe Gardens- where spectators came to watch the Olympic sailors back in 2012- is still a popular resting spot today.
