Weymouth and Portland - General Info
Description:
A typical south coast seaside resort, Weymouth also has a lively port area whose ancient buildings have, in recent years, been restored and put to new uses. The wide sandy beach stretching NE from the port is particularly attractive to families.
The adjacent man-made harbour of Portland was the venue for the sailing events for the 2012 Olympic Games.
The entrance to Weymouth harbour is easily identified by the 55m high Sealife Tower which lies 200m west of the entrance.
