Located within the heart of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, Weymouth has so much to offer; it varies from a rich heritage heartland with historical buildings and Georgian seafront, to a bustling, modern town centre complemented by quaint side streets with traditional pubs, contemporary bars, cafés and restaurants. Weymouth’s picturesque harbour boasts fishing boats, yachts, catamarans and the high-speed Condor Ferries, making day trips to the Channel Islands and St Malo in France.
Just a few hundred metres from Weymouth’s town centre, you'll find the Swannery and RSPB Nature Reserve and a host of indoor and outdoor attractions open all year. With the variety of places to visit and over 200 year-round events, there really is something to suit everyone.
Frequented over 200 years ago by King George III, Weymouth’s central Beach with its golden sands is a consistent winner of the national 'Tidy Britain' Seaside Awards and is one of the 'Elite 8' beaches in the UK.
