More things to see and do in and around Weymouth
Weymouth Bay and Portland Harbour are blessed with some of the finest waters in Britain and indeed Northern Europe for watersports, including sailing, diving, wind surfing, kite surfing and sea angling. The area, along with the new purpose built on-shore National Sailing Academy on Portland, has been selected as the venue for the Olympic sailing events when London hosts the Games in 2012.
Diving, surfing and sailing tuition are available locally and if you need to buy a wetsuit or other equipment, there are plenty of shops nearby where you will be able to find what you need.
Rowing boats and pedaloes are also available for hire on Weymouth beach.
