14 Best Things to Do in Weymouth (Dorset, England)

The gorgeous harbour town of Weymouth was one of England’s first modern resorts.

King George III chose it as his summer holiday destination, and came down 14 times between 1789 and 1805. Weymouth has one of the sunniest climates in the country and one of its best beaches, tracked by an esplanade with a long terrace of Georgian townhouses.

The harbour is also a delight for its painted houses, gaslights and bustling quays.

Close by, the Isle of Portland is the source of the solemn white-grey limestone used for a scores of famous monuments around the world, from St Paul’s Cathedral to the United Nations Building.

Let’s explore the best things to do in Weymouth :

1. Weymouth Harbour

Weymouth Harbour

To squint at the Weymouth Harbour’s painted houses and restaurant terraces in the sunshine, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re in a different country.

But these flat-fronted buildings with bay windows are unmistakeably Georgian.

You can saunter along at your leisure, watching the boats go by on the busy waterway, and perusing the little shops.

There are cafes, pubs, tea rooms, fish and chip shops and cafes vying for your business.

You’ll also find shops selling crabbing lines and baits, and can try catching your own from the quays in summer.

Every two hours, 363 days a year, the Weymouth Town Bridge cranks open to let water traffic through.

2. Weymouth Beach

Weymouth Beach

Three miles long, Weymouth Beach is a broad sweep of fine golden sand, traced by the Esplanade with handsome Georgian terraces.

A Blue Flag winner every year, the beach is rated among the best in England.

That has a lot to do with the light surf and the spellbinding views east along the Jurassic Coast as far as the White Nothe cliffs and Durdle Door.

But there’s also something about the sand, as it binds perfectly, so children can build sand castles as big as their imaginations.

All the traditional amusements of an English beach are here, like donkey rides, “Punch and Judy” puppet shows, as well as trampolines and fairground rides for kids.

3. Nothe Fort

Nothe Fort

This coastal defence was a “Royal Commission Fort”, built from the 1860s to protect Weymouth Harbour, which had just become a naval base.

Nothe Fort is one of the best preserved of a line of defences on the south coast in anticipation of an attack by the Second French Empire.

One reason it has survived so well is that Weymouth had a vital military role in the Second World War when the Royal and American navies had a base in the harbour.

There’s much to see at this D-shaped construction, like the exhilarating view from the parapet and ramparts, the casemates and the twisting underground passages between the magazines and guns.

The many chambers have exhibitions with details about the history of Weymouth, as well as uniforms, guns, equipment and vehicles from the Second World War.

4. Chesil Beach

Chesil Beach

West of Weymouth is a barrier beach of titanic proportions: Covered with shingle, Chesil Beach is 18 miles long and continues all the way down to tie Portland to Dorset’s mainland.

From Portland to the village of Abbotsbury, the beach is bordered by The Fleet, Europe’s largest tidal lagoon.

The beach is up to 100 metres wide in places, and the flint, chert and quartzite pebbles are piled high so it can be tricky to walk on.

Unlike the protected Weymouth Beach, Chesil Beach is exposed to the elements and has crashing waves that aren’t safe for swimming, but offer a stirring environment for a walk in any season.

5. Greenhill Gardens

Greenhill Gardens

The foreshore in the northeast suburb of Greenhill has a glorious string of gardens, with meandering paths, florid borders, neatly trimmed lawns and leisure facilities.

The Greenhill Gardens, which have picked up the prestigious Green Flag award, used to belong to the Wilton Estate before being granted to the town in 1902. There are two cafes, the Pebbles Cafe and Greenhill Beach Cafe, a wishing well, a floral clock and lots of imaginative flower displays in summer.

You can play a round at the 18-hole putting green or just park yourself on a bench with a cup of tea and watch the bay.

6. Jurassic Skyline

Jurassic Skyline

At the northern tip of Weymouth Pier is an observation tower that lifts you to a height of 53 metres.

Jurassic Skyline opened in 2012 and has a circular gondola that makes two rotations, for 360° views of the town, English Channel, harbour, beach, and out along the Jurassic Coast to landmarks like Portland, Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, weather permitting.

7. Portland Castle

Portland Castle

A coastal artillery fort, Portland Castle is from the turn of the 1540s and was ordered by Henry VIII as part of his King’s Device programme to protect England’s south coast from an attack by France or the Holy Roman Empire.

On your tour you’ll be equipped with an audioguide, which will tell you about the climate of the time the fort was built, and explain the role of each of its chambers.

You’ll hear about a four-month siege in the English Civil War, the efforts to stop pirates in the 18th century, and how the fort reverted to storing ordnance during the Second World War.

The battery is still armed with canon and there’s an unbeatable view of Weymouth Harbour from the parapet.

8. Portland Plateau

Verne High Angle Battery

Walkers on the South West Coast Path pass through Weymouth on a 630-mile journey from Minehead in Somerset to Poole Harbour, not far east of Weymouth.

You could tackle a stretch of the trail on Portland, which is an especially interesting place to go for a stroll.

The path runs along former quarry tracks and into a steep man-made landscape of gullies, terraces and hillocks, all caused by quarrying for the island’s famous limestone, but now covered with grass after centuries of disuse.

You can also take detours into the Tout Quarry Nature Reserve and Sculpture Park, the King Quarry Nature Reserve and see the gun emplacements at the 19th-century Verne High Angle Battery.

9. Portland Bill Lighthouse

Portland Bill Lighthouse

Protruding into the English Channel, Portland Bill at the southern end of the island has long been a seamark for shipping.

The most recent lighthouse here dates to 1906 and took over from a pair dating back to 1716. The tower is 41 metres high and has a range of 25 nautical miles and an intensity of 635,000 candela.

The visitor centre in the old keeper’s quarters at the base has just been refurbished, offering details about the history of the building and showing off a former lens.

You can also go up the 153 steps to the lantern room to for a breathtaking panorama of the Channel and to see the current catadioptric Fresnel lens.

10. Sandsfoot Castle

Sandsfoot Castle

There’s an intriguing ruin on the cliff facing Portland.

Sandsfoot Castle is what’s left of a “Blockhouse”, dating to the 16th century and part of the same Tudor system of coastal forts as Portland Castle.

It was decommissioned in 1665, and began to disintegrate as its Portland stone was reused for other buildings and the cliffs beneath gave way.

At the start of the 2010s the site was made safe for visitors with a raised wooden walkway, allowing you to inspect its ashlar stonework, window openings and doorways, and look out at the Weymouth Bay anchorage.

Beyond the earthworks there’s a formal Tudor garden, planted in 1951 and with views framed by Portland, the bay and the castle.

11. RSPB Radipole Lake Reserve

RSPB Radipole Lake Reserve

Not many towns have an RSPB nature reserve in their centre, but that’s what you’ll find on the River Wey before it enters the harbour.

Radipole Lake has a family-oriented discovery centre in a thatched cottage, telling you what birds you might see from the wooden walkways through the wetlands.

Typically there are bearded tits, kingfishers, Cetti’s warblers, marsh harriers, kestrels, shags and little egrets, while the centre also organises nature-spotting walks throughout spring and summer, and will provide you with binoculars.

12. Abbotsbury Swannery

Abbotsbury Swannery

A few miles along Chesil Beach is the village of Abbotsbury, which has the world’s only managed colony of nesting mute swans.

This can be found on the Fleet Lagoon, at a site that dates back to 1393 at the latest.

It is thought that the Swannery was first set up by Benedictine monks as early as the 1000s.

There are more than 600 swans here, all nesting at the Swannery by choice.

From May to August you have the bonus of seeing fluffy cygnets, and there’s plenty for youngsters to get up to, like the Giant Swan Maze, the willow eggs and tunnel, a playground, pedal go-karts and more.

You can also combine a trip to the Swannery with a visit to Abbotsbury’s Subtropical Gardens and Children’s Farm.

13. Fossil Hunting

Weymouth Beach

Weymouth is in the middle of the Jurassic Coast, and while Lyme Regis and Charmouth are the most productive fossil hunting locations, there are a few good spots to search for 185-million-year-old sea creatures.

There’s a certain satisfaction that comes with finding your own fossil, and around Weymouth’s beaches and on Portland you might come up with an ammonite, a tooth from a Jurassic shark or a piece of an Ichthyosaurus.

On Portland, head for the old Kingbarrow Quarry, or the quarry and foreshore on Freshwater Bay.

Even better are the cliffs at Langton Herring behind Chesil Beach, yielding corals, worm tubes, brachiopods, oysters and echiniods.

The very best spot is Redcliff Point at the top of Weymouth Bay, which has a bounty of ammonites and giant oyster shells.

14. Sandworld Sculpture Park

Sandworld Sculpture Park

Weymouth Beach has the sort of soft powdery sand that can be moulded into marvellous sculptures.

And that is just what the local businessmen Mark Anderson and David Hicks have done at Sandworld, which is set in a pavilion on the esplanade next door to the Sea Life Adventure Park.

The attraction opened in 2011 and every year has a new theme.

In 2018 this was TV and Film, and the sculpture park depicts favourite characters from Game of Thrones, Star Wars, The Jungle Book and Marvel movies.

Weymouth is a lovely seaside town situated half way along the Dorset coast and about seven miles south of Dorchester . It is the third largest settlement in Dorset after Bournemouth and Poole . In fact Weymouth combines the best of both Bournemouth and Poole with its long golden sands and interesting bustling Quay and marina making it a very attractive and popular tourist resort.

View of Weymouth Beach from the Lookout Cafe on Bowleaze Coveway

Weymouth is also a convenient base to explore the rest of Dorset and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove are only 15 miles to the east, Chesil Beach just 3 miles to the west and Abbotsbury Swannery 10 miles away. Poole and Bournemouth are 32 miles and 37 miles away respectively and can both be visited by a regular connecting train service if you don’t fancy driving.

Without doubt the highlight of this town is its long arc of fine golden sands with safe shallow waters backed by a wide esplanade and impressive Georgian hotels and bed and breakfasts. However the historic harbourside area won’t disappoint and has plenty of activities to keep you busy or plenty of bars, restaurants & bistros if you prefer to sit back, relax and watch the world go by.

Table of Contents

The beautiful seaside and harbour town of Weymouth is situated on a sheltered bay at the mouth of the River Wey in Dorset, England. The history of Weymouth can be traced back to the 12th century when it was granted a charter by King Henry I, making it a free port.

In 1539, King Henry VIII offered the town as a wedding present to his daughter, Catherine Parr. The town’s connection with royalty continued into the 16th century when it was frequented by King Charles I and his queen, Henrietta Maria.

During the 18th century, George III spent many holidays in Weymouth, most famously during 1789 when he suffered from an illness now known as porphyria.

The Isle of Portland, which is only a few miles away, produces the sombre white-grey limestone that has been used for numerous famous monuments all over the world, including St. Paul’s Cathedral and the United Nations Building.

Today, Weymouth is a popular seaside resort with Georgian townhouses lining its famous sandy beach, the commanding Nothe Fort, and its quaint old harbour specks of colour splashed throughout its architecture and buildings.

Ready to learn all of the best things to do in Weymouth Dorset? Let’s get to it…

17 Best Things To Do In Weymouth, Dorset

1. weymouth beach.

Weymouth Beach is undoubtedly among the town’s most popular attractions. The golden sand and clear blue waters make it a perfect place to relax, paddle, build sandcastles, go for a swim, or play on the fairground rides.

Rated as one of the best beaches in the UK, its accolades shine every year, consistently winning the Blue Flag award for maintaining its series of environmental, educational, safety and accessibility benchmarks.

Perfect for the whole family, friends and couples, there is also no end to choices of food and refreshments set back along the esplanade, sensibly set in front of the rows of graceful Georgian townhouses.

Beachside cafes, Fish and chips, ice cream parlours, donkey rides, the Weymouth Pavilion, and pubs and restaurants galore, you’re going to have no problem keeping the whole family fed and watered throughout your days spent on this glorious stretch of beach in Dorset.

How To Get Here: Weymouth Beach, Esplanade, Weymouth DT4 8DQ

2. Weymouth Harbour

Weymouth Harbour is the vibrant, beating heart of the town, with the Heritage Coast World Natural Heritage buzzing with life from the crack of dawn right the way up until the late-night revellers.

From the early morning fishermen setting out to sea, to the late-night party-goers stumbling home from the bars, there is always something happening here.

The harbour is also a popular spot for tourists who come to admire the boats, take in the views, and enjoy the fresh seafood. Whether you’re looking for a quiet spot to relax or a place to party, you’ll find it at Weymouth Harbour.

Lined with cafes, pubs and restaurants, it’s easy to kick back and enjoy the sea breeze and salt-filled air while watching the life of the harbour pass you by.

And if you’re looking for romantic things to do in Weymouth with your loved one, then check out the Stone Pier Cafe for a romantic glass of wine sitting right on the water’s edge…it’s perfect.

3. Chesil Beach

chesil beach romantic things to do in weymouth dorset

Chesil Beach is a long, shingle beach in Dorset that stretches for 18 miles from West Bay to Portland. It’s one of the most popular beaches on the Jurassic Coast to escape the hustle and bustle of town with its crystal clear turquoise waters.

The beach is made up of pebbles of different sizes, which have been sorted by the tide over time. The beach is a natural defence against erosion and has protected the coastline from storms for centuries.

Its lack of development leaves this beach feeling more wild and natural, with parts of the beach as 100m wide at places. Chert, flint and quartzite pebbles make it difficult to walk along after a while but you can enjoy the views from the coastal path that runs along the rear.

It’s a great place to enjoy a seaside walk, with Chesil Beach acting as a natural defence from the exposed elements crashing in. This also means swimming can be challenging, so it’s recommended to swim width ways, close to the shore to avoid the strong rip currents lurking below.

If you don’t fancy dipping your toes in, then keep an eye out for marine life that often frequents this huge stretch of beach. Expect jellyfish, grey seals and even basking sharks and dolphins if you’re lucky.

It’s a lovely spot for a romantic walk later in the day, and one of the most popular cheap things to do in Weymouth for couples to enjoy.

How To Get Here: Chesil Beach

4. Nothe Fort

Weymouth’s Nothe Fort has a long and complex history, dating all the way back to the early 19th century. Construction on the fort was completed in the 1860s, and it was initially used as a base for coastal defences during the Crimean War to protect the Naval Harbour at Portland.

It served as an active military base until the Second World War, with two tiers of gun emplacements, and armed with 64 guns.

In 1955, the fort was sold to a private company, and it was turned into a tourist attraction. Today, the fort is a thriving attraction in Weymouth, providing visitors with stunning views of Weymouth Bay.

Visitors can explore the fort’s many rooms, tunnels and chambers, where you can learn all about the history of the fort through the many exhibitions. Then climb to the top to enjoy panoramic views of Weymouth Harbour and beyond.

The Nothe Fort is an exciting place to visit during your trip to Weymouth and definitely not something you want to miss. Make sure you stop off at the Nothe Gardens as well whilst you’re here.

Portland Castle is a 16th-century artillery fort, situated on the Isle of Portland in Weymouth. The castle was built during the reign of King Henry VIII as part of his Device Forts programme to protect England from invasion by France or the Holy Roman Empire.

The audioguide with this castle tour acquaints you with the atmospheric dungeons, lurching towers and the stunning views from the top of the keep.

You’ll learn about a four-month siege during the English Civil War, the attempts to combat pirates from the 18th century, and how during World War II the fort became an ammunition store powering the Allies’ war efforts.

One of the best things about Portland Castle is that it’s located right on the coast just like all of the coastal forts, so you can enjoy panoramic views of Weymouth Bay and beyond with a plethora of photo opportunities.

Best things to do in Weymouth

Sandworld Sculpture Park

1.  Sandworld Sculpture Park

What is it? A place to see amazing sculptures that have been lovingly created using only sand.

Why go? This spot will leave you scratching your head, trying to work out how your own sandcastles always end up in a heap, while these are so magnificent. The artistry involved here is next-level. Expect to see sandy Darth Vader from a sandy galaxy far, far away, sandy Benedict Cumberbatch as sandy Sherlock Holmes or possibly even sandy Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen. Entrance is only £5 as well.

Bibi's Boutique

2.  Bibi's Boutique

What is it? A shop with an ethical ethos, selling vintage clothing, gifts and homewares.   

Why go? Warning: one trip here and your Insta-feed is going to end up clogged with your beautiful buys, from the cacti themed homeware to eco-friendly scents. The building itself is also utterly charming and has its very own coffee bar in-situ too.

Nautico Lounge

3.  Nautico Lounge

What is it? A beautifully decorated, dog-friendly eatery that serves up award-winning food.

Why go? The service here is personal, the décor of the old Post Office building is quirky, and the chefs go out of their way to make sure vegan and gluten-free diners are well catered for you. You’ll be happy you popped in for some lunch (and surprised to find out it’s a chain restaurant).

Nothe Fort

4.  Nothe Fort

What is it? A sea fort dating back to the nineteenth century.

Why go? This historic fort was built to protect Portland Harbour and played a big role in Britain’s defence during World War II. Its military service may be over but it’s now one of Weymouth’s biggest attractions and has a museum and gardens. Stroll around the ramparts, taking in the sea breeze, before sitting down in the tea room with a giant slice of cake.

Trinity Terrace

5.  Trinity Terrace

What is it? A beautiful little street with an equally beautiful view

Why go? Weymouth, in general, is a gorgeous place. It has that a real Ye Olde English vibe about it. All the streets here are packed with cute cottages and little nooks to explore, but Trinity Terrace is the street to beat them all. The row of pretty pastel houses has the added bonus of being the perfect vantage point across the harbour. Here you can see the Town Bridge and much of the Melcombe Regis portion of the town. It’s also right behind Bennett’s where you can get yourself some cracking fish and chips.

Alexandra Gardens

6.  Alexandra Gardens

What is it? The quintessential British seaside mainstay of rides and arcade games.

Why go? You can’t come to the beach and not play on a 2p machine or attempt to win some sort of stuffed toy – it’s practically British law. Weymouth’s Alexandra Gardens has enough games and rides to keep you well and truly busy, so grab your change, eat candy floss until your teeth ache and try not to be sick as you ride the Surf Up ride.

Weymouth Beach

7.  Weymouth Beach

What is it? A beautiful sandy beach.

Why go? The whole of Weymouth is centred around its beach. It’s got three miles of unspoilt sand and all the nostalgia you can shake a stick at – think donkey rides and Punch and Judy shows amongst other things. Grab an ice cream from nearby Rossi’s and paddle like a kid for the perfect summer afternoon. Or come in the winter for the annual Chase the Pudding race.

The Hive Café

8.  The Hive Café

What is it? A wonderful veggie/vegan café that serves food loved by all.  

Why go? This place prides itself on freshly made delicious food, making as much as they can in-house. Everything tastes amazing, from their vegan mayo to their range of vegan cakes – the Black Forest cake is immense. They also have a choice of seating. You can chill out indoors or sun yourself on their outdoor terrace.

Radipole Lake

9.  Radipole Lake

What is it? This wildlife reserve could fool you that you’re not in the middle of a town.

Why go? If you’re looking to escape the stresses and strains of the city then a trip to Radipole Lake will banish them well and truly from your mind. Here you can zone out while you look for otters and kingfishers, see dragonflies zip by and generally just get back to nature.

Durdle Door

10.  Durdle Door

What is it? This iconic natural structure is a short drive from Weymouth and is the poster child for Dorset’s coast.

Why go? An area of outstanding natural beauty, Durdle Door is one of those sights that need to be seen to believed. The UNESCO World Heritage Site looks like a doorway leading out into the sea and was created by the waves slowly eroding away the limestone of the coastline. Also nearby is Lulworth Cove with its white pebbled beach and glistening blue waters.

Enjoy Weymouth Beach

things to do in weymouth

Well, obviously! The beach in Weymouth is absolutely gorgeous: golden sands, a beautiful bay, and plenty of traditional tourist attractions like pedalos, and ice cream stalls. There’s even a Punch and Judy – one of the last in the UK! This is quintessential seaside England at its best: definitely one of the best things to do in Weymouth.

For a quieter experience, head up to the Greenhill end of the beach, where the locals go to escape the crowds of tourists. There, you can climb (and go crabbing) on the big pile of rocks that acts as a wave breaker. Local favourite Sammy the Seal can often be spotted around here during summer.

Up at this end of the beach, you can also swim out to the raft which is moored out in the bay and practice diving.

Explore the Nothe Fort

Nothe Fort Weymouth Dorset

This fort next to the harbour was built in 1872 and played an important role in WWII. It’s now been renovated and converted into a museum, with loads of WWII memorabilia including some big guns and cannons along the ramparts.

Voted one of the spookiest locations in the UK, my sister and I were absolutely terrified of the Nothe Fort when we were kids (something we still haven’t fully grown out of!): with its dark, narrow passageways underground and stories of the Whistling Gunner – the ghost of a gunman that died in the war – it’s definitely a pretty scary place.

However, the exhibits are really interesting and it’s great to see the role my town played in the war. A big shout-out has to go to the lovely team of over 70 volunteers who keep this museum going!

The highlight of the museum for kids (and competitive adults like me) are the toy mice hidden throughout the exhibits. You can count them all to win a certificate – although no one seems sure of how many there actually are anymore!

Lodmore Country Park

Lodmore Country Park was one of our favourite places to while away the summer when me and my siblings were kids. It’s still one of the best things to do in Weymouth, with play areas, a nature reserve and some beautiful walks.

In the centre of the park is a mini steam train which kids always love. There’s also a small funfair with the Cresta Run bumpy slide (where I spent whole days as a kid) and go-karts. And, of course, there’s the Weymouth Sealife Centre and Pirate Adventure Crazy Golf. There’s no shortage of things to do in this awesome park!

Fossil Hunt at Bowleaze Cove

Bowleaze Cove Weymouth Dorset

Enjoy the spectacular views over Weymouth Bay towards Portland from the top of the hill, before heading down to the beach at Bowleaze Cove . We used to spend hours trying to build a dam across the River Jordan, which crosses the beach to reach the sea.

This is also a prime spot for fossil hunting, especially between the cove and Redcliffe Point. This part of Dorset’s Jurassic Coast is particularly famous for fossils of molluscs and reptiles. Because the cliffs are actively eroding, there’s a constant supply. So you have a pretty good chance of finding something!

Walk Along Weymouth Harbour

Last, but absolutely not least, is Weymouth Harbour. This historic and picturesque harbour is an ideal spot for a walk. Grab some fish n’ chips – my favourite come from Fish N’ Fritz – and eat them whilst enjoying the views of pastel-coloured buildings lining the harbour.

If you’re visiting in Summer, you might be able to pop along to the harbourside Dorset Seafood Festival – one of the best food festivals in Dorset !

This has been a port for many centuries, dating right back as far as the Romans, so there’s a lot of history around Weymouth Harbour . In fact, this is the port through which the Black Death entered the country in the 14th century. Several ships set out from Weymouth to fight the Spanish Armada, with a battle taking place off the coast of Portland.

More recently, Weymouth also played a part in the battle of Dunkirk. If you’ve seen the recent Christopher Nolan film starring Tom Hardy, you can spot the town’s harbour in several scenes!

We are spending November and December in Weymouth this year. Your fantastic site has given us so many ideas. We are really looking forward to it, and we don’t feel all that bad missing the Spanish sunshine.

Oh wow that’s so amazing to hear!! I’m planning a lot of Autumn/Winter posts at the moment so hopefully that will help you plan things to do even if the weather isn’t quite as good as it would be in Spain 😉 Enjoy your trip!
