{{About|the small harbour in central Weymouth|the large harbour to the south of Weymouth|Portland Harbour}}{{Other places|Weymouth Harbour (disambiguation){{!}}Weymouth Harbour}}{{Use dmy dates|date=March 2017}}{{Use British English|date=March 2017}}Weymouth Harbour (or the Old Harbour) is a picturesque harbour at the seaside town of Weymouth in Dorset, southern England.[1] It has a 17th-century waterfront.[2]

Overview

Weymouth Harbour has included cross-channel ferries, and is home to pleasure boats and private yachts. Nearby to the south, the much larger Portland Harbour is home to the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, where the sailing events of the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games were held.

The disused Weymouth Harbour Tramway runs along the north side of the harbour to the also disused Weymouth Quay railway station. Immediately to the north at the harbour entrance is Weymouth Pier, separating the harbour from Weymouth Beach and Weymouth Bay. Weymouth Pavilion and the Jurassic Skyline observation tower can be found here. Stone Pier is located on the south side of the harbour entrance.

Immediately to the south near the entrance to the harbour are Nothe Gardens with Nothe Fort on the promontory. Nothe Parade runs along the south side of the harbour front, with Wellington Court, the former Red Barracks, built in 1801, above. Brewers Quay is a converted Victorian brewery in Hope Square, a tourist spot south of the Old Harbour. It was formerly the Devenish Brewery. Nearby is the Tudor House Museum, which used to front onto the harbour before the land opposite was reclaimed.

The harbour includes a lifting bridge to allow boats into the inner harbour, Weymouth Marina.
