Advantages: Location, beaches, activities and nearby places to explore

Disadvantages: Best visited in the warm

Weymouth has always been one of my favourite seasides, and has a lot of benefits in addition to its areas of golden sand at one end and its shingly appearance at the other.

Next to the main car park, there is one of the best sea life centres I have been to - on at least 3 occassions and has a lot of different species, a children's play area and an outdoor pool for a quick splash.

There's also a museum to the brewing industry - Brewers Quay which is well worth a visit.

The beach is great and quite often radio 1 visits there for a roadshow during the Summer.

It's easily accessible by rail, bus or coach which are within walking distance of the sea front.

It is a place that you can explore - including the harbour area and Notte Fort (a fort built during the Napoleonic War and one which includes exhibitions from World War 2) - which overlooks the ferry terminal. It's well worth a visit. Exploring nearby there's Portland where you can walk up to the top of the lighthouse, Bovington Tank Museum, Abbotsbury Swannery, and Lulworth Cove.

I've stayed at Weymouth for holidays twice - once with my school at a hotel near the harbour and once at a caravan park. It's one of several seasides in Dorset, but its the one that I feel has most going for it.

Summary: A fantastic place to spend a day or your whole holiday
