Best Beach in Weymouth Harbour

"Alum Chine is one of Bournemouth’s most beautiful stretches of Blue Flag beach and can be found westwards from Bournemouth heading to Canford Cliffs. It’s particularly popular with families with toddlers thanks to the amazing Treasure Island themed adventure playground and the land train to Bournemouth Pier. Like other beaches in Bournemouth, there are RNLI lifeguards, baby changing facilities and lost children centres too."

"From Alum Chine Gardens as you move down, you come across a beautiful wide golden sand beach with a gradual slope into the sea. This beach is known as Alum Chine Beach. If you are with your kids, this Blue Flag award winning beach is the place to spend a nice afternoon."

"Weymouth Beach is an award winning beach with traditional old fashioned activities such as Punch and Judy shows, donkey rides and more. The beach is a popular family attraction in Weymouth for locals and holiday makers alike. Toilets, cafe, restaurant and arcades are also available at the beach making it a full day out."

"Overcombe beach is just to the east of Weymouth and is very popular for windsurfers, kite surfers and kayaks. Sitting next to Preston Beach, Overcombe has its own cafe with a car park attached. Dogs are welcomed onto Overcombe beach all year round."

"Three miles of golden sand lie right by Weymouth’s historic harbour and town centre. Offering traditional seaside attractions, such as puppet shows and trampolines, Weymouth Beach is perfect for families."

"With a seaview from every table, Branksome Beach is a seafood restaurant situated right on Branksome Chine beach. We offer a relaxed and friendly experience in a superb setting with stunning views across Poole Bay. With daily fresh fish dishes and the best in modern British cuisine our restaurant uses the finest locally sourced seasonal produce to create skillfully crafted into mouthwatering and inventive dishes."

"There’s Sandbank’s own lavish offering, or Branksome Chine Beach a little further down the way, or (our personal favourite) Alum Chine, a quiet beach complete with candy-coloured beach huts and tropical gardens. With the evening sun setting on the horizon, we think this is the perfect time for a beachside picnic; a truly traditional way to end your day out in Dorset!"

"About: Branksome Beach serves the finest, top quality food accompanied by magnificent panoramic views of Poole Bay. You can indulge in some of their locally sourced and freshly prepared dishes whilst you sit and watch the sunset on their spectacular rooftop terrace."

"Just a short walk down the promenade from Bournemouth pier, Boscombe beach is the perfect spot to spend a family day out in the sun. Following its involvement in a redevelopment scheme, this sleepy 1950s style beach town has been transformed into the ideal holiday destination. Rent out a beach pod and enjoy an adventure at the coastal activity park where you can try windsurfing, snorkelling and diving."

"A post shared by Adam Cowdrill (@adcowdrill84) on Mar 30, 2020 at 11:02pm PDT. If you’re looking for more action and adventure for the kids, head to Boscombe Beach. There are volleyball courts, table tennis tables and climbing boulders for little ones."

"This Blue Flag award winning stretch of sand is a great place to top up your tan and relax in the sun. Located on the west cliff, take the land train from Bournemouth pier towards Poole to get to the wide shingle beach and walk through the idyllic wooded Chine. Escape from the hustle and bustle of the busy Bournemouth Pier and lounge on one of the locals’ favourite beaches."

"Southbourne Beach can be a quieter option than Bournemouth’s main stretch, still offering Blue Flag status and golden sands. With everything you’d need for a family day out – food and drink, toilets, lifeguards and of course, plenty of ice cream – there’s miles of beach to play with and handy parking nearby. A zig-zag path leads up and down the cliffs, but there’s a clifftop lift if you don’t fancy the trek!"

"Accessible by cliff lift or a walk through the nature trail, Southbourne Beach is a twenty minute walk from Boscombe beach along the promenade. Head to Fisherman’s walk nature trail and wander through the wooded land featuring some of the coast’s resident wildlife and flora. If you don’t fancy the walk, Southbourne operates a cliff lift that will take you directly down to the beach in seconds."

"When I first moved to Poole, this restaurant used to be my place to go for a gourmet dinner. Back then it was called The Rising Sun. A couple of years after it got sold to the Brewhouse and Kitchen chain, but they have kept the chefs, so the food remained at the same high quality."

"09/06/2021: Rosie came running to the door from cleaning a table the the second we walked up. She was fun and Personable the second we walked in. Sat us somewhere we liked and looked after us!"

"Circo Lounge is in a great spot in the heart of lovely Westbourne. The restaurant is completely dog friendly. Why not enjoy breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner or just some drinks."

"The Libertine, in Westbourne, is a gastropub with a difference. You’re spoiled for choice with a varied menu of British classics, but if you need to whittle it down, the wood-fired pizzas and the steaks, prepared in a Josper charcoal oven, are particularly special. For events, there’s a separate, equally attractive space that can be hired for parties and private dining."

"All roasts are served with Sticky braised red cabbage (v) Buttered sugar snaps, peasand beans (v) Honey-roasted carrots & parsnips (v). Choose from roast rack of port, sirloin beef, lemon and thyme roasted chicken, or mushroom and camembert Wellington."

"In the lively hub of Westbourne, The Libertine offers wholesome and homely British classics. Inspired by the charm and eclecticism of the town, The Libertine is filled with quirky reclaimed furniture, suspended vintage light fittings, and one of the…"

"All dishes are freshly prepared, made with carefully sourced ingredients, wherever possible from local suppliers. Breakfast is served between 9am – 12pm Saturday and Sunday in low season and Monday – Sunday during high season. Enjoy toast, bacon sandwiches, or perhaps eggs Benedict, eggs Royals or smashed avocado."

"The service was great, extremely polite and welcoming staff. High quality food for a cracking price which we really enjoyed and pancakes were amazing. The attention to detail was really appreciated."

"As well as being known for a lovely afternoon tea in Bournemouth, Frieda’s Tearoom also serves breakfast. Opening at 9am, you can choose from the brunch menu including Frieda’s famous English breakfast offering eggs in any style with back bacon, butcher’s sausage, tomatoes, baked beans, mushrooms, and delicious seeded toast. Why not try the smashing pumpkins, which is roasted pumpkin, goats Cheese, rosemary roasted walnut crumble, on activated charcoal sourdough."

"Head to Frieda’s Tearoom, Bournemouth’s quaint old-school, rustic haven for a full English and a milky brew. Everything is home-made by Frieda herself and the personal touches sprinkled in the cosy décor don’t go unnoticed. With a menu centred around making the most of locally sourced seasonal ingredients and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, you’re never going to want to leave!"

"For a charming breakfast, look no further than the family-run, independent tea room that is Frieda’s. The personal touch really is evident in every part of this lovely tearoom, from the home-cooked food to the welcoming interior and the attentive service. The menu priorities locally sourced and healthy ingredients, and serves up some of the best poached eggs in town."
