Top things to see in Weymouth

Your destination for explorers, sailing, climbing, walking, relaxing and so much more!

Because unlike most of our rivals, we're genuinely local - so we're constantly on the lookout for the top things to do and see across Weymouth & Portland. Why not take a look yourself and build it into your stay with us?

Weymouth Beach

Golden sands, gentle waves, and traditional seaside charm—Weymouth Beach has it all. Perfect for families, swimming, and sunbathing, it’s often named one of the UK’s best beaches. Grab an ice cream, enjoy the Punch and Judy show, or simply relax with your toes in the sand.

South West Coastal Path

Weymouth marks a stunning stretch of the South West Coast Path. Whether you're up for a breezy stroll or a scenic hike, this national trail serves up clifftop views, wildlife encounters, and photo-worthy coastal beauty.

Weymouth Harbour

A picturesque working harbour lined with colourful buildings, charming pubs, and seafood restaurants. Watch boats glide by, try some fresh fish and chips, or take a boat tour for a unique perspective of the Jurassic Coast.

Nothe Fort

Explore winding passageways, underground tunnels, and stunning views at Nothe Fort—an award-winning military museum overlooking Weymouth Bay. Great for kids and history buffs, with fun exhibits and plenty of green space for a picnic.

Sandsfoot Castle

Perched above the sea with views over to Portland, the romantic ruins of Sandsfoot Castle are a peaceful place to relax. Surrounded by landscaped gardens and overlooking the Fleet Lagoon, it’s a lovely stop on a coastal walk or cycle.

The Isle of Portland

Technically just over the causeway from Weymouth, the Isle of Portland feels like another world. Rugged cliffs, quirky villages, and a wild, windswept charm make it perfect for exploring. Don’t miss Portland Bill Lighthouse or the views from the Olympic Rings.

Greenhill Gardens

A beautifully kept garden right by the seafront, Greenhill Gardens is ideal for a quiet wander or a coffee with a view. With colourful flower beds, palm trees, and views out across the bay, it’s a little oasis just minutes from the beach.

RSPB Radipole Lake

Right in the heart of Weymouth lies this hidden gem for nature lovers. Radipole Lake is an RSPB reserve teeming with birdlife, including kingfishers and marsh harriers. Peaceful, scenic, and surprisingly central—perfect for a break from the bustle.

Weymouth Sea-Life Centre

Dive into a world of underwater adventure at Weymouth’s SEA LIFE Centre. From sharks and turtles to penguins and rays, it’s an exciting day out for families. With outdoor play areas and splash zones, it’s much more than just an aquarium.

Weymouth Town Centre

Bustling with charm, Weymouth’s town centre offers a mix of independent shops, high street favourites, cosy cafés, and seaside treats. Whether you're after a bit of retail therapy or a relaxed meal, it’s got everything you need in easy walking distance.

Rodwell Trail

A peaceful walking and cycling route that follows the old railway line from Weymouth to Portland. Lined with greenery, sea views, and bits of railway history, the Rodwell Trail is perfect for a relaxed stroll or bike ride off the beaten path.

White Horse, Osmington

Carved into the chalk hills above Weymouth, the White Horse of Osmington is a dramatic figure of King George III on horseback. Visible from miles around, it’s a great spot for walkers and photographers, with stunning views over the countryside and coast.
