Weymouth is close to Chesil Beach Visitor Centre
 

Weymouth is a Gateway Town to the Jurassic Coast.

Weymouth has so much to offer every visitor. Its fame as a seaside resort dates back over 200 years when King George III holidayed here.

The beach is nationally renowned for its clean golden sand and shallow waters. There is also an incredible sand sculptor, Punch and Judy, a helter skelter, swing-boats and stalls selling everything from cockles to beach inflatables. What's more, Weymouth has the best sunshine record in England, even in winter.

The fine Georgian seafront makes an impressive backdrop to the long arc of sand, and houses a wide variety of hotels, restaurants, pubs, cafes and small character shops. The town centre combines the traditional and the modern, from historical buildings, a restored Victorian Fort and museums to a beautiful new marina and new shopping complex.

You'll never be bored in Weymouth, not even if it's raining! The Deep Sea Adventure features the world's foremost Titanic Exhibition and Sharky's; an all action children's play zone, under one roof. Brewers Quay is a labyrinth of courtyards and cobbled alleys where you will discover arts, crafts and specialist shops. You'll also find the Timewalk attraction, which explores Weymouth's turbulent past, Brewery Days, exploring the town's brewing heritage and Discovery, which promises "Hands-on science fun for everyone". The Nothe Fort Museum of Coastal Defence offers a memorable insight into Weymouth's maritime history and the Sea Life Park will introduce you to an amazing variety of marine creatures including seals, penguins and otters, through interesting talks, displays and an interactive SeaLab.

Weymouth also hosts a vast array of events throughout the year including an international kite festival, veteran vehicle and motorcycle rallies, military parades, handball, volleyball, sailing championships and a huge carnival in August.

Visitors to the nearby Chesil Beach Visitor Centre can also take a trip on the glass-bottomed Fleet Observer boat to examine the marine world of the Fleet more closely.
