About Weymouth

Sun-soaked and brimming with charm, Weymouth is Dorset’s favourite seaside escape, framed by a golden beach and its elegant Georgian esplanade. If you’re here for sea views and style, boutique hotels along the waterfront deliver nautical flair and sunset vistas. Families love the child-friendly resorts near the harbour, while budget stays and cosy B&Bs cluster around the town centre. For a splash of indulgence, luxury hotels on the promenade promise spa days and fine dining just steps from the sand.

With golden sands perfect for sandcastles, brightly painted streets to wander, and ice cream to enjoy after sailing from Portland Harbour, Weymouth is made for lazy summer days by the sea. But there’s more here than sun and sand. Weymouth makes a great base for discovering Dorset’s dramatic Jurassic Coast, with clifftop walks leading to hidden coves, striking sea views, and even the ruins of Sandsfoot Castle. You can step back into history at Nothe Fort and Portland Castle, or simply relax among the flowers in Greenhill Gardens. And when the day winds down, nothing beats fish and chips by the water before retreating to a cosy seaside stay or a grand country house nearby.
