A beautiful Blue Flag beach isn’t the only allure of a Weymouth holiday. The charming seaside town sits along the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast and it’s one of the most scenic in Dorset. Picture vast sandy swathes dotted with deckchairs, plus gorgeous streets lined with grand Georgian townhouses.
There’s no shortage of things to do in this South West seaside resort. The Victorian-era Nothe Fort is perfect for soaking up some local history and admiring panoramic vistas across Weymouth Bay. There are lots of kid-friendly attractions too, from the SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth to the Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, which also welcomes well-behaved pooches. Weymouth is also a brilliant base for exploring the wider South West Coast. Nearby Chesil Beach, which boasts over 29 kilometres of golden sand dunes, is a wonderful spot for a relaxing beach day. You could also spend an afternoon exploring the museums and 16th-century castle at historic Portland Harbour. Alternatively, why not whizz along the coast to stroll around lovely Lulworth Cove or to see the dramatic Old Harry Rocks?
No matter if you want to stay right on Weymouth Beach or in a chocolate box village like West Bay on the town’s outskirts, you’ll spot plenty of accommodation options at Cottage Holidays. Browse spacious barn conversions ideal for group escapes or book a weekend in a cosy sea-view cottage for you and your better half.
