Weymouth

Among the coastal towns of England, Weymouth stands out for the sweeping sands of Weymouth Bay and its long Georgian seafront. Set on the English Channel in Dorset, the town is divided by Weymouth Harbour, where fishing boats, pleasure craft and waterside pubs give the centre a working maritime rhythm. King George III made regular holiday visits in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, helping establish Weymouth as a fashionable resort. The coast continues towards Portland Harbour and the Isle of Portland, while the town’s sailing credentials reached a global audience when Weymouth and Portland hosted the sailing events of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
