A royal resort on a sheltered bay
Weymouth got its start as a seaside resort when George III began coming here to bathe in 1789. He kept coming back, the town built him a painted statue on the Esplanade, and the Georgian terraces still curve around a wide bay of soft sand and calm, shallow water. Britain has few better beaches for small children.
Our Weymouth collection runs to 42 homes. Most are spacious apartments and houses around Radipole, Lodmoor, Chesil and Osmington, many with sea views and the use of a pool, plus a handful of cottages and larger villas with up to 7 bedrooms.
Here is a guide to the town, its coast and the best time to come.

Radipole and the town centre for the beach and harbour, Osmington and Bowleaze Cove for quieter bays to the east, Chesil and Portland for wild shingle and sailing, with Lyme Regis and Bournemouth along the coast.
Georgian terraces, a working harbour and a lake full of birds
The Esplanade is Weymouth's front room: a long sweep of Georgian and Regency terraces facing the sand, with George III's statue at one end and the old harbour at the other. Fishing boats still unload on the quayside, and a short walk across the harbour brings you to Nothe Fort, a Victorian fort with views across Portland Harbour.
Just behind the town lies Radipole Lake, an RSPB reserve with reed beds and birdlife a few minutes from the shops. Lodmoor, the second RSPB reserve, sits just inland from the beach to the east. Homes around Radipole put both the beach and the reserve within easy reach.

Stone, shingle and a great deal of sea
South of the town, the Isle of Portland is tied to the mainland by Chesil Beach, a shingle bank around eighteen miles long with the Fleet lagoon behind it. Portland is a rugged place of quarries and lighthouses. Its stone built St Paul's Cathedral, and the sailing events of the 2012 Olympics were held in its harbour.
The walk out to Portland Bill is bracing in any weather. Along the coast, the view of Chesil from the hills above Abbotsbury is one of the finest in England, and the swannery there is a pleasant morning out with children. Further west still are the fossil beaches of Lyme Regis.

A chalk king and the road to Lulworth
East of the town the coast gets quieter. Bowleaze Cove is a small, sheltered bay, and at Osmington a figure of George III on horseback is cut into the chalk hillside. Local legend says the king was not pleased to be shown riding away from Weymouth.
Osmington Mills is the place for a walk on the South West Coast Path followed by lunch at the pub. Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, two of the best-known sights on the Jurassic Coast, are a short drive further east. Many of our homes in this area have sea views and the beach close by.

Crab, harbour fish and a long, gentle summer
Weymouth eats well from the sea. Portland crab, mackerel and whatever the boats have brought in are the dishes to order, and Dorset apple cake with a pot of tea makes an afternoon. Some cheeseboards carry Dorset Blue Vinny, the county's own blue cheese.
July and August are for the beach, when the bay is warm, shallow and busy. May, June and September are quieter, with fine walking on the coast path and calm days for sailing. Our concierge can arrange sailing lessons, boat trips along the coast, fossil-hunting walks, restaurant tables and transfers from the station or airport.

The right house, not the nearest one
Weymouth's homes are spread from the town to the clifftops at Osmington and out to Portland, and we know which are a stroll from the sand and which have the better sea views. With 42 properties in Weymouth, we can usually find the house that suits you rather than the one that happens to be free. Search by size, pool, location and price, or tell us what you have in mind and we will put together a shortlist.
Book direct
You book with us directly, with no booking fees. Questions about access, parking, pool heating or how far it really is to the nearest beach go to people who can find out the answer.
A concierge who knows the territory
Sailing lessons in Portland Harbour, boat trips along the Jurassic Coast, guided fossil walks, restaurant reservations, private chefs and transfers from Weymouth station or Bournemouth airport. Our concierge team arranges all of it, leaving you free to decide which terrace to sit on.
A house for every kind of party
Couples, families with small children, three generations together or a crowd of friends celebrating a birthday: we match the house to the group, down to the number of bathrooms and whether the pool is fenced.
