Weymouths popularity as a seaside resort ia attributed to King George III who came to bathe in the sea as a health cure for his nervous disorder. Between 1789 and 1805 the King and members of his family spent fourteen years in Weymouth. The beach is superb and consists of sand which sweeps around the bay changing to shingle by the Jubilee clock. All the usual facilities are on hand, Punch & Judy, swingboats, trampolines, volleyball court and Weymouth's famous sand modeller.
Weymouth has so much more to offer than just a beach. As one would expect of a coastal resort, water sports feature prominently in the list of activities. With excellent wind conditions all year round the waters of Weymouth bay & Portland harbour are a mecca for Kite and wind-surfers. The many coastal wrecks also make it one of the top dive centres in the country. As one of the top angling venues Weymouth offers all types of fishing from a childs crabline in the harbour to deep sea wreck and reef fishing which can be booked through one of the many charter boats moored in the harbour.
