Disadvantages: A bit busy in summer

well...........not quite but read on....

For families, Weymouth makes a popular and sensible holiday destination with its famous beach and attractive location on the sunny Dorset coast. This has been well documented.

However, whether in or out of season, why not try Weymouth for a weekend away?

The pubs in Weymouth put most towns to shame. A stroll along the harbour front soon puts you in the picture.

Particular favourites are the George Inn (superb food) and the Ship. However, walking back towards the town centre you will discover a myriad of other local hosteleries. Chain pubs are catered for with a Hogshead and a Wetherspoons.

If cheap cocktail bars are your thing then head along to Bar 2012. Most Saturday nights from 6-9pm cocktails are half-price and if you are staying until Monday check out the Sunday night promotion (half price cocktails all night!)

If bitter is your tipple then you will find Weymouth a perfect venue for trying out the local flavours. One of the local brewers, Badger, produces the delightful Tangle Foot bitter as well as a superb range of Specials and Smooths.

For the Sunday try exploring the outskirts of the Town (to relieve the hangover). The more adventurous should visit the famous Chesil Beach or the Isle Of Portland and the famous lighthouse at its southern tip (Portland Bill). Also recommended would be a visit to nearby Wyke Regis (a charming example of a traditional Dorset village).

Further afield, select from the Isle of Purbeck (Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove) or the nature reserve at Studland.

All in all a perfect way to spend a relaxing weekend with friends or your partner.

Thanks Nicola. Yes I hope more non Dorset like myself read this! I went down to Weymouth in Xmas Eve and had a jolly old time yet again - I managed about 12 pubs (I think!)

Nice catchy title! I grew up in Dorchester nearby and have been to Weymouth more times than I can possibly remember, partly because I was often sampling too many of these local alcoholic beverages you have mentioned! So I can vouch for what a great place this is. Good op, lets hope plenty of other people that aren't from Dorset read this and are inspired!
