Overcombe Beach
Overcombe, situated just a mile east of Weymouth, is a shingle and sand beach very popular with windsurfers and, increasingly, kite surfers and kayakers.
Buses run to and from Weymouth every fifteen minutes, although it is only a thirty minute walk into the town centre. Ten minutes away by foot is the Ladmoor Nature Reserve and the Weymouth Sea Life Park. There is a café right on the beach and the water is safe for swimming.
