Arrival by Sea
Enter Weymouth Harbour past the quay moorings and listen to bridge information on Ch 12. If the bridge is shut, use the free waiting pontoon on the port side just before it; there is a clearance gauge on the bridge. Call the marina to confirm a berth while you wait, and check current reception hours with the marina.
Ashore
The old harbour, Custom House Quay and the beach are on foot; trains run to London Waterloo and Bristol.
