Weymouth would make the ideal spring or summer excursion destination. If you're planning a visit, a little preparation can help you see all of the sights, so here's our quick list of the best local weekend attractions and activities.
Weymouth has been a popular resort for well over 150 years, and it has some unique seaside attractions. The best of all is Sandworld, one of the world's leading sand sculpture festivals and art exhibitions. But the beach itself is also a delight and worth a visit.
The sea means everything to Weymouth, and there's no better place to learn about marine life than SEA LIFE. Dubbed a marine "adventure park", it's home to seals, rays, turtles, and many other sea creatures.
One of the most important marine defences in southern England, Nothe is a fascinating window into Britain's naval history. See massive guns, watch informative films about the fort, and witness 18th century cannons roar a salute at the weekend.
South of Weymouth, Portland is a great place to walk (and a major rock-climbing centre, so active vacationers might want to investigate adventure companies in the area). Portland Castle is also a historical landmark, dating all the way back to the 1500s.
If the weather is good, exploring this RSPB site is a real treat. Located 15 minutes from central Weymouth, it features a two-mile circular walk, where you can see rare marsh birds. And there's also a play park and gastropub on site.
