Ian &Shewy's Comments: We have never had any complaints from passengers visiting Weymouth.
Weymouth
is a great resort for all the family, with its safe bathing beach, picturesque
harbour and a variety of attractions and events.
Weymouth's popularity as a seaside resort is attributed to King George 111 who
came to bathe in the sea as a health cure for his nervous disorder. Between 1789
and 1805 the King and members of the Royal Family spent fourteen holidays in
Weymouth. The beach is superb and consists of sand which sweeps around the bay
changing to shingle along the extended promenade. All the usual facilities are
on hand, Punch & Judy, swing boats, trampolines, volleyball court and Weymouth's
famous sand modeller.
Weymouth has much more to offer than just the beach. As one would expect of a
coastal resort, water sports feature prominently in the list of activities. With
excellent wind conditions all year round the waters of Weymouth Bay and Portland
Harbour are a Mecca for windsurfers and dinghy sailors, and divers come to the
area to explore the wrecks lying around the coast. As one of the top angling
venues in the country Weymouth offers all types of fishing, from the child's rod
dangled from the pier to deep sea fishing trips which can be booked from one of
the charter boats in the harbour. Golf, cycling, walking, bowling, swimming, the
list of opportunity for sport is endless.
Attractions include The Timewalk and Brewery Days which takes visitors on an
unforgettable voyage to experience six hundred years of Weymouth and Portland's
history. The Sea Life Park's themed marine displays reveal the fascinating
habitats found beneath the waves and at The Deep Sea Adventure and Sharky's
children can jump, swing, slide and climb in the adventure play zone while
adults take in the Titanic exhibition on the upper floors.
With a new shopping centre, lots of excellent places to eat and drink, a wide
choice of accommodation and a year-round calendar of events it is little wonder
that Weymouth is a town to which people return time and time again.
