Weymouth Beach

Weymouth Beach is a gently curving arc of sand in Weymouth Bay, beside the town of Weymouth in Dorset, England.

The 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 use Weymouth Beach as a venue for the sport.

The beach has the traditional attractions of an English seaside resort, including donkey rides, Punch and Judy, sand sculptures, trampolines and a small fun fair for children.

At the northeastern end is Furzy Cliff and beyond that Bowleaze Cove.
