    Three things to do on a weekend in Dorset

    1. Visit Bowleaze Cove

    Close to our Weymouth Bay and Seaview holiday parks, you’ll find a wonderful beach to enjoy as well as Fantasy Island with its rides and indoor play area, and a café and ice-cream shop for a post-swim treat.

    2. Meet the animals

    From the 2,000+ sea creatures at Weymouth Sea Life Adventure Park, to the 250+ rescued and endangered primates at Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre: Dorset is a haven for animal lovers.

    3. Explore Poole’s maritime history

    You’ll see plenty of boats on a visit to Poole’s Quayside, but you can truly get to know them on a trip to the RNLI Lifeboat Museum or Poole Museum. You can even hop aboard a boat and take a trip to pretty Brownsea Island.
