Weymouth Beach

Weymouth Beach ... is a popular destination for sea bathing, and was frequented by King George III during times of illness. The king named Weymouth his 'first resort' and made bathing fashionable there. Weymouth Beach is very wide and gently sloping, with golden sand and shallow waters normally with small waves. In addition to bathing, the expansive beach is used for beach motocross and volleyball — the International Volleyball Championships regularly use Weymouth Beach as a venue for the sport.

 ... golden sands and sparkling waters it really is a haven for chilling out, taking in the fresh sea air and watching the world and its sea gulls fly by. The beach is ideal for for pensioners who want to drink tea, visit the Greenhill gardens or perhaps par take in the bowlling activities just off the beach in the Greenhill area. The beach is also a great place for adults to chill and teens to show off their stuff. It is also a fantastic place to take the children not just for paddling or building sand castles but ...more

Weymouth has been my home all my life but having spent the last 4 years away at University this has enabled me to have the advantageous perspectives of both visitor and local. Weymouth is a great seaside town with a pretty decent selection of shops (apart from mens clothing grr!), some very nice restaurants and a nightlife that can often rival bigger cities such as Bournemouth. The beach is the largest jewel in the crown of Weymouth and, without it, King George the Third wouldn't have visited it all those years ago and injected a huge industry of tourism into the town. The Weymouth I know and love today would be completely different if it didn't have its ...  Read the complete review

After spending a few idyllic days in Weymouth, I realised how special the beach is. I’m not a sun worshipper, preferring to spend my holidays actually doing something rather than lying on a towel with sand getting in all… well, everywhere. Weymouth Beach caters for everyone; beach bums who want a game of Frisbee, kids wanting to build sandcastles, more active beachgoers. The beach is fantastic for those long morning walks; one end is made up of large pebbles but the further you walk, it’ll gradually turn from pebbles to gravel and finally to a beautifully textured sand. It’s definitely interesting, and for such a short distance it makes me wonder how the ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review SUN, SEA AND SEA GULLS! (555 words)

Weymouth is a very quaint old tourist town situated in the south west of England in which I have lived most of my life. It's a town that relies heavily upon its tourism trade for employment which is usually very good in the summer months due to its long stretch of main beach with many little private beaches dotted in and around the outskirts of the town as well as its healthy reputation as a holidaying resort. Having spent six months lucky enough to go travelling around Australia I was privy to some of the finest beaches in the world including the very famous Bondi beach and I can honestly say with hand on heart that Weymouth beach looks very much the same except without ...  Read the complete review
