From historic forts to stunning beaches, independent galleries to lively festivals, there’s always something happening here.
Weymouth’s golden sands attract visitors from all over the country, while Portland is known for its dramatic coastline, Portland Bill lighthouse, and famous sailing waters. Together, they’re home to a rich mix of local businesses, creative talent, and unique attractions.
The area’s historic sites, coastal paths and open spaces offer an incredible setting for filming, events, and outdoor adventures. Whether you’re enjoying world-class water sports, exploring the Jurassic Coast, or discovering art and creativity tucked away in unexpected places, there’s a real energy and spirit here that’s hard to match.
But it’s not just about the landmarks. From the town centres to the hidden coves and villages, culture and community are everywhere. Weymouth and Portland Life is here to help you find everything that makes this corner of Dorset special – and maybe a few new favourites too.
If you’re looking for local events, spaces to hire, or ways to get involved, we’ll keep you updated with all the latest news, activities, and opportunities across the area.
If you’re a Dorset based organisation and have an event or resource you’d like us to share or to find out more about this website please email.
