About

Weymouth West sits along a sweeping bay, with the Georgian seafront forming its eastern edge. The area is largely residential, featuring terraced houses and quiet streets that climb away from the shoreline. The historic harbour, with its working fishing boats and ferry terminal, is a central feature of daily life here.

The area includes the Nothe Peninsula, a grassy headland with a 19th-century fort overlooking the harbour entrance. This creates a distinct separation from the main beach, offering views across to Portland. The local economy is tied to the waterfront, with businesses catering to both the fishing fleet and seasonal maritime traffic.
