The scenery here is truly breathtaking — a perfect blend of history, nature, and the sea all in one place. It’s a spot that definitely deserves more appreciation and care. While the natural beauty is undeniable, the area would benefit from better maintenance and cleanliness. Adding more benches and picnic tables would make it even more enjoyable for families and visitors. The restroom facilities don’t seem to fully meet the needs of the visitors either. Still, despite these small shortcomings, it’s a magnificent place where you can relax, enjoy the view, and feel completely refreshed."

An absolutely brilliant experience that takes you on a journey of the history of the original Victorian fort through two World Wars and then the Cold War, when part of the fort was used as a Nuclear Bunker. The films and exhibits are superb and the D-Day exhibition, which highlights the role of Weymouth in the D-Day landings and Operation Overlord, is outstanding. There are also amazing views across Weymouth, the Jurassic Coast and Portland. There's a great little café too! It's well worth the entrance fee!

A wonderful place to visit. There are lifts to the different levels and the majority of items are step free. There are well laid out ramps that are suitable for wheelchairs. There is plenty of parking which is not free outside the venue. There is a sloping down hill walk go the entrance. A well stocked shop which you enter and exit the site. There is a large cafe and lots of seating inside and out. Disabled toilet next to the cafe. The rooms around the site are well laid out with lots of information

Brilliant afternoon here with my wife and parents. The fort has loads of information about its history over its three levels in its labyrinthine tunnels and has spectacular coastal views looking out across the English Channel. I would definitely recommend this amazing place allow yourself up to four hours to go round the fort.

Excellent experience. Great day out. Lots of interesting exhibitions and a maze of tunnels. The cold War exhibits and nuclear bunker really interesting. Lovely cafe serving light lunches volunteers very friendly and helpful,the accessibility very good there is a lift that goes from the ramparts all the way down to the tunnels. Lots of ramps everywhere very impressive

Nothe Fort is a fascinating historic site with amazing views over Weymouth Bay and the harbour. The fort is well preserved, with interesting exhibits, tunnels, and displays that bring its history to life. The staff and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit even more enjoyable. A perfect mix of history, scenery, and fun — a must-visit attraction in Weymouth!

An absolutely brilliant place to visit. Every member of staff was polite, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. The whole experience was fantastic but stumbling upon the Nuclear shelter was an unexpected highlight. Would 100% recommend

Excellent beach, dog’s allowed on west beach only until 30th September, plenty of parking but at £4.80/hr near the sea front a bit expensive, if you are prepared to walk it is cheaper near the swannery car park. Plenty of shop’s, cafe’s, etc. Worth a visit

Lovely area, we attend the motocross annually and always great atmosphere and brilliant stalls with plenty of food options. Shops and easy parking nearby, handy disabled spaces down the seafront.

Weymouth Beach is a beautiful and clean seaside spot with soft pebbles and clear waters. The gentle waves and scenic views make it perfect for a peaceful walk or relaxing by the shore. The promenade nearby adds to the charm with plenty of cafés and ice cream stalls. A lovely place to enjoy the classic English seaside atmosphere!

A beautiful clean beach Its always warm on the sea front Plenty of places to sit or eat. Definitely recommend Weymouth its lovely

One of many amazing beaches on the Dorset coast, not as easy to find a parking space unless you use the car parks either end of the beach or use the park and ride from outside the town. Once there the lovely well looked after beaches are so beautiful and through the summer many families enjoy and use the many amenities for souvenirs and snacks to evening meals with plenty of restaurant choice. It has a all year dog friendly beach either side of main beach and dog friendly everywhere after 30th September. The harbour and Nothe fort walks are amazing too.

I really enjoyed our walk on the beach. Wide open beach, plenty of cafes and restarants, arcades and friendly people all around. We were there in October so I can imagine it is gets very busy in summer But I would recommend going off peak

We went in late october. Drizzling with rain on and off but it is still gorgeous there. Lovely long sandy beach. Dogs are allowed. And just crossed the road to shops and cafe.

Very enjoyable stroll along both sides of this picturesque harbor & town. Arrived on a cruise ship, opting to venture out on our own & soak up some uniquely European ambiance in this - our first port across 'the pond' - since crossing over from Florida ... Mission Accomplished👍

Beautiful harbour surrounded by lovely shops, cafes, pubs & restaurants. It’s lovely just to sit and watch the comings and goings of the boats.

I love the place. I walk about the place at least once a day. The place always looks different. Morning, afternoon or Night time. It can get very very busy around the harbour on both sides when it's warm and the holiday season. Plenty of places to buy food and other shops. They also do a Christmas day swim across the harbour. Which I found pretty cool as it was Christmas day and the place was the busiest I had seen it at any one give time. The land train buzz's round that way also when it's running. Also a good place too park your Boat up and tease me 😂

Good to see an active fishing industry in the harbour. There are brightly coloured houses lining the harbour waterfront and a few quayside pubs, cafes and restaurants. Seems like the place for fresh seafood although I was too early in the morning for that.

Absolutely love this place it's like heaven totally my vibe so much to see and do

Been to harbour side for a walk. Such an elegant view from the bridge. Colourful buildings just amazing and making very different impact on the atmosphere around harbour area. Just beautiful place, water, blue sky, fishing boats, excellent pubs, nice eating places,happy people and charming atmosphere. I'm so happy that came to this place and spend my all day this lovely city.

So much too see, plenty places to eat and drink, lots of people walking, dinning, sailing, crabbing and so much more. Lovely atmosphere, We went to the "Quayside" for cake and coffee, we sat outside as the sun was shinning, friendly and pleasant staff and the coffee and cake were delicious. The bridge had just gone up, lots of people on the quayside both sides waiting to cross. Boats exiting and entering Weymouth harbour. All was very Very enjoyable.

Great place to relax and enjoy the views across to Portland. Has a lovely kiosk on site offering refreshments with lovely staff there. Can be busy on sunny days and weekends. Beautifully maintained gardens and water feature. Perfect place to chill with a good book, a coffee and bite to eat.

Beautiful scenery across the bay, relaxing, plenty of places to sit amongst the beautiful gardens. Cafe serving wonderful snacks, we had amazing clotted cream scone, whole strawberries🍓. Castle ruins lovely to see, fenced off due to damage but still amazing to see/read about it.

A haven of flora and fauna..... Still fish in the pond... And it so reminds me of the other beautiful gardens .. Green hill.. I usually pop in,on the way along the rodwell trail..x Which in itself is a Joy too the eye.. Especially between the two bridges.. Where nature has turned it into a beautiful unexpected valley of nature trees. There's actually badger sets . Anyway back too sandsfoot. The castle is in ruins ,and has been that way all of my life. you could get down a staircase onto the little beach ⛱️... Still can get down too the beach if you walk further up the road from the castle.. Which is ideal for families. There a path ,like I said down too the beach . And this path (underbarn)eventually goes too the other large park across a bridge ... The Nothe... Which is more busy but beautiful views and one or two nice little cafes . Especially the one in the stone pier ... Which actually bakes it own cakes .✨⛱️💯🧑‍🍳🥯🥪🍝

Really lovely park with beautiful flowers, the castle ruins and great seaside views

Very interesting reading about the history of the castle. Lovely little cafe and park.

The gardens were well maintained and great to spend an hour to relax with castle ruins in the background. The Rodwell trail starts just uphill from here and is the best route for getting to isle of Portland on foot. My only negative is that there were nettles obstructing some of the sea view

Lovely place its a pity can't visit inside this beautiful ruins But still beautiful and the spectacular views wow!

Went here on a lovely sunny and warm day which is great as a lot of the attractions are outside and ideal for young kids that can play in the play park and water splash areas. Not as many inside tank areas as in other sea life centres. Good access for wheelchair users. Blue badge parking adjacent to the premier Inn car park. Wheelchair accessible toilets are quite small.

I had a good time at Sea Life, everything was clean and the exhibits were well presented. That said, I’d recommend going on a weekend when the full experience is available. Visiting on a Monday meant only the drinks section of the gift shop (located at the exit) was open, and the food kiosks were shut, which was a letdown if, like me, you fancy a drink and a bite to eat during your visit. The signage could definitely be improved. We had to exit through the Shark section just to find our way out via the gift shop, and we weren’t the only ones, other visitors ended up following me through the same confusing route. Overall, it was a decent few hours out, but for a smoother, more complete visit, especially with family - I’d say stick to the weekend.

We visited on a weekday in early November and spent just over 2 hours here. We were very surprised at the size of the site and the large variety of animals housed here. The aquarium is spread out over a few buildings, each housing a themed exhibition from rock pools to rainforests and coral reefs. Each exhibit includes detailed information signs and screens providing more information about the animals and marine life houses here. They also host a variety of free talks and feeding sessions throughout the day and we found these to be very informative. Our highlight was visiting the seals in their open-air pool with underwater viewing area. In addition to the aquarium exhibits, there are also a variety of play areas and other attractions which would certainly keep younger visitors entertained (and could easily extend the visit from a few hours to a day out). There is also a gift shop and cafe at the exit. The site is fairly flat and there are tarmac paths throughout which would make it very accessible for prams, buggies and wheelchairs. There are also lots of signs and maps dotted around the site (as well as the free map they give you when you enter) so you can easily find the exhibits you are looking for. You are also able to pop out and return later in the day if needed. The staff here were all very friendly and helpful and also incredibly knowledgeable. They were a credit to Sea Life and made us feel very welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Sea Life Weymouth and would happily return in future.

Perfect place to visit with family or if you love sea life. It’s not as big as the one in London which I visited before, but it’s still a really nice one. If you can, try to get there around 1 PM so you can catch all the feeding times. The place is small but very well designed, and you don’t really need a guide. Just grab a map from the entrance and you’ll easily find your way around. The one thing I felt was missing was food. There were souvenir shops everywhere, but a coffee machine or a small snack corner inside would’ve been great. The only spot for a warm drink was the cafeteria at the exit. Other than that, it’s a fun and relaxing experience

We had a lovely visit to the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, and the whole place was clean and well looked after. The kids enjoyed seeing all the different sea creatures, and it was a fun family day out overall. That said, we were quite frustrated that none of the refreshment shops were open until the very end. By the time we reached the exit café, it was a bit too late. For the price of the tickets, we were expecting a bit more from the experience. Still, we had a great time and made some nice memories.

Very accessible for a scooter user, only one bridge by the otters wasn't but there was another way around. The aquariums are indoors but you go outside to get to each one and to see the penguins and otters, be aware of this and have a poncho with you!

This is a really small Sea Life, 2 hours and you will have seen everything. The animals and fish appear well cared for. The staff are well informed, courteous and friendly. The cafe by the gift shop served good coffee and had a fair selection of snacks available.

Had a excellent evening at Catch. The whole team put on an amazing service. Menu was carefully thought through and it really showed in the presentation and execution of the dishes. Our favourite of the night was the lobster with sundried tomatoes. The water sauce was delicate yet packed full of flavour. Crab butter was also delicious. We thought it was the perfect amount of food for the dinner set course. Would definitely come back.

How this has not got a Michelin star yet is beyond me. This means it is incredible value for money at the moment. The fish could not be fresher and the dishes were fantastic. Highlight was the cuttlefish but even the beetroot relish accompanying the extra cheese course was amazing. Special mention to the wine pairing as well; the quality of the 2 wines, English Sparkling Rose, Tokaij and English apple brandy were great value for money and will be looking to buy some for myself. Go as much as you can.

First time visiting the catch last night and the food, wine, service and ambience was outstanding. Me and my partner both said it was up there with one of the best meals we have ever had. We will definitely be back next time we are in Weymouth

Cannot fault the experience. We celebrated our engagement here, and the staff interactions made the entire night. Well, I lie. The food did! Especially the delicious puddings. We were both made to feel so welcome, and comfortable by everyone we interacted with. The simple and elegant congratulations card was such a nice touch too. We intend to put it in a small frame in the house. Thank you very much. We will be back.

Sone of the best seafood we have ever had - located above a fish mongers on the quay at Weymouth so right by the harbour for landing fish. Local ingredients ised, excellent wine pairings, can't wait to go back.

A delicious meal in a relaxed restaurant with helpful and friendly service. We booked for a tasting menu lunch, but it was more of a 3 course meal. There were extra courses available but they cost extra. I doubt I'd have fitted in any more as the main dish was a good size. I'd definitely go back again. Its not cheap but it's excellent quality food.

Absolutely Brilliant. Such a wonderful evening. A treasure trove of interesting dishes featuring fresh local fish, seafood and produce with some lovely local wines also included in their very good wine list. The staff are charming, helpful and knowledgeable. One of the best meals my wife and I have ever had. It's not cheap but worth every penny.

Honestly, 3rd year in a row we have been here and it never disappoints. Once again we were lucky enough to get the table for 2 next to the pass, so we saw everyone else’s dishes as well as our own. Crab and sardine starters were superb, my wife’s stuffed sole was great, my lobster came in a bowl of the most delicious liquid I have ever tasted. It’s great to find a seafood restaurant that just does seafood, and there are always multiple things that temp on a changing menu. You will need to book ahead (we took a guess when we would be sailing in to Portland and adjusted our trip to make sure we could be here). If you love seafood you will love this place. And every single person we interacted with here were professional, enthusiastic and friendly.

Don't really want to tell you how excellent this place was and if you like seafood this establishment will not disappoint you. Everything about the place leaves you in awe. Please do not miss out on the culinary experience that will leave you wanting to go back for more. You can see the chefs at work whipping up each corse with fresh locally sourced fish and shellfish. They even farm their own oysters and you can even see the oysters in the next room. Everything is on show and there is a story everywhere you look. I will let the photos tell there own story with tastes and flavours that you will have to try.

My wife and stepsons took me out for my birthday dinner. Fantastic food, great service and absolutely perfect ambience. Lovely rustic chic and brilliant food. The only disappointment was my wife's bellini. Tasted great but presentation was a bit off. Food still gets 5 stars because it was absolutely phenomenal. We came all the way from Southampton just off this meal and we were not let down at all.

Been coming here for over 20 years, since it was Abbotsbury Oysters, love the food, the oysters, the atmosphere and great service too. Friendly atmosphere, I recommend booking to guarantee a table. Plenty of seating areas to chose from and some are also dog friendly. The menu is full of choice which makes decisions difficult!

Never disappoints! Hits the spot every time! Outstanding choice, value, food, location, service and atmosphere. Food is incredible. This is a very very special place. You can feel it as soon as you walk in. There is no other restaurant like it. My absolute favourite in the whole of the UK.

Fantastic varied menu, incredible wine list, beautiful setting and amazing staff. The food was sensational and every member of staff was so friendly, attentive and professional. Highly recommend this lovely place.

This place is amazing, the atmosphere the staff the restaurant deco & the food is fantastic. Recommend to book & go, if walk in then no chance of getting a table. Good quality sea food is served here. All we ate was delicious & really very good. We ate oysters, Lobster & the spicy Japanese Crab

Really enjoyed the food, the milkshake especially was a treat. The chicken burger was delicious but could maybe have had a bit more salad etc to make it feel more substantial - the beef burger was fine on this score. Some slight constructive criticism is that most 'premium' burger restaurants tend to have great presentation of the food as well, whereas here felt like fairly standard pub-type plating up. Didn't affect our enjoyment of the food though!

Wonderful place to have dinner after eventful day of exploring Dorset coastline. We were amazed by the vegan menu in this place, as well as by very friendly stuff. Homemade patties for vegan burgers are amazing. Also, they serve delicious black olives. And personally, I do you like the way they organize furniture in the dining area; all those mismatching chairs around tables, it looks very cozy.

A good burger joint, The menu is great woth plenty of choice for meat eaters and non meat eaters too. Beer prices are in my opinion over the top for the beers on offer, off shore is £6.70 a pint as are others I'd except something a little more intresting at that price. Staff work incredibly hard and efficiently massive respect to them. It's a large venue and the noise is painful along with dim lighting I don't think I could return and mange the headache it gave me. Food was good and tasty and came out in good time and hot. Burger buns very soft. Cocktail choice is slim. Toilets very good and clean. Wouldn't return but absolutely recommend giving it a visit.

amazing food, good quality beef and fast service but not in a cheap fast food way, definitely made with love! Quick service but never felt rushed. The servers are super friendly, bearded man with glasses and tatts is an absolutely lovely chap, dessert menu was drool worthy! Lovely clean spacious toilets and beautiful interior decor of the place, wish we weren't just passing through so we could visit again!

The best burger I’ve ever had. If you’re a burger fan then this place is a must! The burger was to die for I had the “dirty moo” the meat was seasoned perfectly and the bun was the perfect amount of bread to the burger. All five of us were super impressed. A good range of bitters for my husband so he was happy. It wasn’t overly expensive, but for the quality I expected it to be more expensive than it was.

Just amazing, this has to be my new best burger place. Ordered the Dirty Moo Burger. It was cooked perfectly, juicy crispy and full of flavour. The staff were really friendly and attentive with multiple waitress checking everything was fine for us. Topped everything off with a brownie and ice cream dessert, which was completely covered with chocolate. Yum. A well deserved 5 star and a top recommendation!

Visited TDBC Saturday for my birthday with my wife and baby. The staff were super friendly, offered a high chair for our little one immediately and explained the way they worked things really well. The atmosphere was really relaxed and the food....well, it was phenomenal. The ‘Triple Meat Burger’ was delicious. Quite easily one of the tastiest, melt in your mouth burgers I’ve ever had. My wife’s food was superb and the desserts were really good too! Keep up the great work guys.

Service was excellent. Our waitress, her first day, was lovely. Also, Solly was great too. I liked that they wrote on your table cloth what was available that day and the price. A great moment. In addition, the welcome as we entered and when we booked, lovely, welcoming and friendly. Loved the shipping forecast in the toilets. A nice touch that we remember. Unlimited chips were really unlimited - brilliant. No terms and conditions, maybes, or if you’d, just unlimited. Ronseal! Fish…cooked perfectly. Anchovy mayonnaise was exceptional. Plus, the homemade tartare was fabulous and the curry sauce was out of this world. The Rockfish lager was good too.

We had the most amazing meal here the other night. My second visit to a Rockfish restaurant and I wasn’t disappointed. The food was cooked to perfection. Toby, our waiter, was attentive and polite. Intolerances were catered for with care and reassurance. Perfect!

The food at Rockfish in Weymouth was absolutely incredible. The fish was some of the best I have ever had. The haddock was perfectly cooked, light, fresh and not greasy, with plenty of fish inside. The sides were just as impressive, with curry peas, curry mushy peas, and coleslaw all cooked to perfection. Everything was full of flavour and complemented the fish beautifully. The service was outstanding, with James being very well mannered, polite, and attentive, always checking if we needed anything. Overall, it was a fantastic experience from start to finish and I would give it a full 5 out of 5.

Staff like Verity and James have been so attentive to us. I am really impressed with the way they explained all the fresh seafood of the day, and we were informed about the prices too. It was expensive but worth it! It was my daughter’s birthday, and since we didn’t have a booking, they only offered outdoor seating. It wasn’t as pleasant, but it was alright. My daughter was given a free birthday dessert with a candle to blow out, which made it really special.

The food was really nice and everything was tasty, but we didn’t enjoy having 5 different waiters constantly checking on us every 2 minutes. It felt overwhelming and interrupted the meal. One dedicated server would make the experience more relaxed and personal.

A great fish and chip shop. Reservation a must Good choices Daily catch, they write on the place mat, good theatre vibe!! Good drink selection, beers, wines etc Unlimited free extra chips!!

Jasmine was a lovely server, and went out of her way to make our evening really special. Food was excellent all round; we went for the lobster and halibut, both of which were cooked perfectly (be sure to try the Jalapeño tartare too!). We’ll definitely be back - thank you!

Had a nice meal here. It was. Tuesday evening so quite quiet. The service was decent and friendly and the food was good but to kind of had to be. £172 for 2 adults and 2 children having 2 courses without much alcohol is a bit steep. With a price tag like that the food would have to be exceptional to get 5 stars. It was nevertheless good and we did have lobster which is never cheap.

Before you read my review, please see the friendly manager comments to explain how uneducated I am in my details below. Then read on ... Something has clearly gone a miss here. Uncooked prawns and off lobster. Never again... You have a high hopes reading all the wonderful 4*/5* reviews. Did we go to the wrong restaurant - nope. Did we choose something difficult to cook - nope. Was the chef off, may be. Would we go again - no! Let's start with positive, the staff who did everything the could to make the best out of a bad situation. The team was very pleasant and chatty and had plenty of time for us but.... It does not cover the fact that Thai Prawn Balls were stone cold from the kitchen. Yes they were replaced quickly but something so simple, should not go wrong. Moving on, two surf and turfs; Lobsters and Fillet Streak. On one of the dishes the lobster meat was grey and watery, it looked off. We were told one was from yesterday's catch, hence the difference in cooking. Hardly freshly caught! Hardly reassuring!! So, given my experience with the prawns, I decided to just stick with my steak and send the lobster back. I'd now given up on getting a properly cooked crustacean at this place. In fact I just given up, as the streak really was not a fillet more sirloin but i prefer this cut , so kept stum. The other steak was more a rump, than a sirloin, let alone a fillet. (Edit: menu had changed from fillet to sirloin. At least one of the steaks was good) But by now we had all just had enough, thankfully the attentive staff and manager reduced our bill by half. Even so, mistakes were made. Need to highlighted and hopefully will not happen to a different customer. Well, we know it won't happen to us again! No going back ☹️

It was good. The service was friendly and attentive. But I have to say, they’re not expert at preparing a whole lobster. It was under cooked, the tamale was a dark green gel and close to inedible (didn’t stop me though). They steam the lobster when boiling is a better method in my opinion. The scallop appetizer was quite good, well prepared although a bit pricey (£13 for three scallops).

This restaurant came highly recommended by friends who live in Weymouth and we were not disappointed. The oysters that we had for starters between us were huge and delicious, my husband had the fillet steak and half lobster surf & turf. He is extremely critical when it comes to steak but reckoned that this was one of the best steaks he had ever eaten!! I had the seafood linguine and was super impressed with the amount of seafood present as most places tend to scrimp on this. The service was also extremely impressive - efficient and just the right attentiveness. We will most definitely be back the next time we visit Weymouth.

Birthday family meal. Well balanced meals. Thai rice was undercooked,but the restaurant did redeem itself with a free dessert. Great ambience and not over priced £££. Recommended you book as this is a great little spot

The food was good in general. One of the mains we took though was dry and kinda blund. The atmosphere was a bit dark and did not quite met our expectations. Maybe that is just our feeling. The place was full and required a booking. The seafood linguine and the scallops along with the dusted calamari was very good, if not excellent. It's one of the oldest places in the city, and worths a try.

Amazing food but avoid if you have kids. So, this probably would of been a 5 basing this off solely food as the food was great. But, waiting until we had ordered to then start moaning our 2 year old was moving to much, being to loud and stating that kids just break stuff is probably a tad insulting to a kid who was hiding behind a chair of an empty restaurant and singing wheels on the bus. If they raised this concern before they started to bring paid goods we would of just left and apologised we didn’t realise it wasn’t a kid friendly restaurant. But, I felt like they roped us in with needing to pay for the dinner until they decided to wanted to choke restrained and muzzled. Recommend they get a no kids sign for the window because the food is great.
